Tuna,
the Fishy Difference
Tuna lovers
should be avoiding oil slicks as they swim towards optimum
health. Just look at what a bath in oil can do to a
perfectly good diet-wise food:
- Tuna,
light, canned in oil, 3 ounces: 168 calories, 6.98
fat grams
- Tuna,
light, canned in water, 3 ounces: 99 calories, 0.70 fat
grams
Keep in
mind that the fat and calorie content listed above is
based on drained tuna.
Although
there aren't many extra calories in the drained portion
of the water-packed tuna, the oil-packed tuna packs
a hefty amount of additional calories when it goes undrained.
Therefore, if you must have tuna packed in oil, be sure
to drain thoroughly before ingesting.
As a note,
about 1.3 grams of the total fat content in the oil-packed
tuna is derived from saturated fat.
