Do yourself a favour and go to your supermarket to the fish counter and buy some fresh fish. You can find a ton of ways to cook it online, it's super duper easy.





Fish goes well generally with lower calorie sides, like sweet potatoes or salads or rice.





Seriously there's better things than canned tuna, and if that's all you eat to lose weight then if you're like everyone else you'll just end up losing the diet because of losing interest.





Keep those tastebuds happy. Fish is easy, simple, and fun to cook from scratch, try it. It's only a couple more steps than canned, and won't at all taste like health food, even though it's really good for you.
Drain tuna, add hard boiled egg (chopped up), mao, celery and a little pickle relish. Serve either on a bed of lettuce or bread.
Tuna won tons!


Try the tuna in oil, not water..buy won ton wraps..they have it at Vons or Albertsons now..simply wrap, seal w/water and pan fry in olive or peanut oil..(verry little oil if you want)..tastes great and you don't need to add salt or pepper unless you want to.


:)


Your dipping sauce can be a half mayo/ketchup or half ranch/ketchup..don't blend serve in a dish right next to each other!
White albacore tuna, light mayo, celery, hard boiled egg, a dash of tarragon.

1 tbsp. oil

Okay, I know this is not a tuna recipe but we low carb and this is one of our favorites. We make up the Knorr's Spinach Dip. You can eat it with celery or carrots but in addition to using it as a dip we stuff chicken breasts with it.





Take boneless, skinless chicken breasts (I know you can have the skin on a protein diet but we try to minimize the fat when we can), place between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound to make a thinner bigger filet. Season take a couple of tablespoons of the Knorr's Spinach Dip and place in the center of the breast and fold over. Secure with a toothpick. Then season the outside with a little salt, pepper and garlic powder.





You can then cook one of two ways. Either place on a baking sheet, give a spray with cooking spray (to help brown) and bake for about 20 minutes at about 350.





Or you can heat a skillet with a little oil and brown the chicken in a skillet, medium high heat for about ten minutes. Turn and brown other side for about ten minutes.





This is wonderful and easy. Hope you enjoy! A nice change from tuna (of which we eat tons too, have eggs boiling as I type.)
