StarKist 25% Less Sodium Chunk Light Tuna in Water – 5 oz Can (Pack of 24)

Good tuna at a relatively good price

Fine. Easy to carry. Would be easier if had a pop top.

This has become one of my go-to lunch protein options because it makes structured meal planning extremely easy while still delivering excellent protein numbers for the calories. The tuna itself has a good texture for canned tuna, and the lower sodium version is nice especially if you’re eating it regularly as part of a planned diet. I also rinse it after draining, which helps reduce some extra saltiness and improves the texture a bit. I use this the same way I use canned chicken for planned lunches, although I personally limit tuna meals to about 2–3 times per week because of mercury concerns. Even with that limitation, it’s still one of the best easy high-protein lunch options I’ve found for convenience and macros. My usual setup is: * 2 slices Sara Lee Delightful Healthy Multi-Grain Bread * 1 can StarKist 25% Less Sodium Tuna (drained & rinsed) * 2 servings Portmann’s Salad Dressing * 1 whole egg * 2 egg whites * cucumber slices, romaine, and a couple cherry tomatoes * 1 Pure Protein Complete Protein Shake – Rich Chocolate TUNA LUNCH MACROS 528 kcal 68g protein 29g carbs 21g fat One thing I especially like is how filling this setup is for the calories. Between the tuna, eggs, shake, and vegetables, it ends up being a surprisingly large lunch with a ton of protein while still staying controlled enough for weight loss or structured nutrition plans.

As an owner of 6 cats, I like to give them an occassional can of tuna to share. I feel comfortable with this brand and I buy it bulk. They each get one tablespoon and I add a little bit more water. I too make an ocassional tuna salad sandwich, so between the 7 of us, we go through a lot. I feel the price is descent and I love that it's delivered to my door so the grocery store employees don't ask "why all the tuna?"......every single time.

I bought all the flavors and they are all wonderfully delicious and refreshing! I’m reordering a bigger order now!
