coles one, no fat at all??? What is the point of eating fish if you aren't getting any of the good fish oils?
so.. thats abotu 8-10grams of oil, that has soaked in and around the fish?except for whatever residual oil remains after the draining process
hang on..
70% tuna, which is say, 1.6%fat
15% oil, which is 100% fat
out of a 95g tin, 14.25g is fat from oil, 1.06g from the tuna itself
75g is drained weight = 66.5g tuna (70% of 95g) (of which 1g is fat) + 8.5g oil
so 66.5g tuna and 9.5g oil = 14.3% fat
slightly off the JW can "drained weight" stats (it had different drained weights for different flavours), but it all adds up pretty close...
well.. drain whole tin, and weigh the contents. you know there will be X% of total weight as tuna, with ~1.6% fat, and whatever the extra weight is, will be oil?
do it once and then you know from then on, not so painful

Oh I wasn't posting it for that reasonPoint taken max, except that is a fair bit more expensive! Plus, you can't go past the convenience that the cans offer.
Don't get me wrong though, I love a nice thick, fresh, piece of fish, like butter in your mouth!
Yeah good point, I didn't think about the specials etc.If you can score the medium size tins for $2, it works out to be about $13/kg for the tuna, which is pretty decent.
Plus I consider the olive oil in there a bonus, as its hard for me to add anywhere else in my diet, except for my salad.
Pity there is so much salt in the tins though, probably even more than listed, as if you drain it (as they do for the nutritional info), I would think you would lose a fair portion of the salt.
So probably about 1g of salt per 185g tin :S
But all worth it for the convenience lol
Yeah good point, I didn't think about the specials etc.
Salt = no issue

Wowzuz, who would of thought tuna could be so bloody complicated lol.
If you can score the medium size tins for $2, it works out to be about $13/kg for the tuna, which is pretty decent.
I buy the coles 185g ones in olive oil for $1.70 per tin and I drain the oil. Always have. They taste great but I can't handle too much of the olive oil...
One a day as part of my meal plan which I just posted up having taken inspiration from yours mate.
Cheers,
Mike
