Pieces 'n' Tuna

Hi guys. Right - I have got over my KFC lunch yesterday. I counted up the
calories on the page that was kindly posted. Counting up the calories, I
technically shouldn't have had any dinner . . . but I did. Can't be
starving myself. So, back on the diet proper today. I ate an apple at uni
today, and arrived home for 1pm, when I was ready to make one of the
healthiest and one of my favourite things. Pieces 'n' tuna. Fantastic.

So I opened the can, and to my horror I found the wee fishy bits floatin
aboot in sunflower oil! Argh! I bought the wrong thing, and it's not my
favourite. But, I have heard that sunflower oil is a very good thing to
eat. Is it? And surely it's full of calories? What's the consensus?

Sorry, but I'm new to this game . . .

Dude, you need to be a little more systematic about what you are
eating. Just do a little planning, eat better breakfast etc. No one
will do it for you.

Sunflower oil, which was boiled and in a can, is not a partuclarly
wonderful thing to eat, not that it is that bad. It is just oil.

Just drain it and eat the tuna.

2 slices of wholemeal bread. A 'piece' is just a sandwich

Turn the can to the side, read the label. That will tell you how many
calories are in it.

Drain the oil. Oh, and then take the tuna and rinse it in water and
drain that too. That may wash off a bit more of the oil.

Then eat it - and calculate your calories. You probably won't have
eaten all the cals since you drained the oil. But its better to err
on the high side.

just so you know, foods list calorie amounts along with grams of carbs
(sugar, fiber, etc), protein and fat (saturated, unsaturated, etc)
right on the label. By comparing tuna in water labels to tuna in oil
lables, you can see nutritutionally just what the difference is and
decide if it's right for your diet or not

I drained what I could . . .

I like to buy tuna in olive oil imported from Italy. I drain off most of the
oil, and what's left gives the tuna all the flavor it needs. I don't add
much else, except for a drizzle of red wine vinegar, chopped fresh basil and
freshly ground black pepper.

I'm following a calorie controlled diet, and they fell into that. The two
steaks were 300g between them (10.5 oz for you Americans who can't yet use
Système Internationale) and they were less than 400 calories. Remember that
tuna is over 90% protein. For my main meal, with a little pasta, I think
that's acceptable. Don't you? The whole meal was about 1000 calories - and
I'm eating about 1400 calories daily at the moment. I had my two steaks,
and I enjoyed them. Should I feel guilty for that?
