Tuna, in addition to being a very portable and versatile food, is one of the most nutritious things individuals can eat. One cup of chunk light canned tuna contains a whopping thirty-nine grams of protein and has only about 180 calories. In addition, it is full of vitamins and minerals like B vitamins and selenium, which are essential for metabolic function. This fish also provides a substantial dose of omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial for the heart and brain. Individuals should be sure to pick out chunk light and skipjack varieties of tuna, as other types, such as albacore, can have higher levels of mercury.
