what tuna fish is better for you?

Question

chunk white or chunk light??

Answer 1

Nutritionally speaking, they're both about the same......I like tuna fish salad sandwiches, though all white meat can be a little dry, so here's my trick that I learned in culinary school:

a can of each, one in water, the other in oil.....meaning that you buy a can of solid albacore tuna in oil and a can of chunk light tuna in water, drain off most of the liquid and proceed with your favorite recipe from there.....for me, I just like the basic Mayo, salt and pepper.......a little lemon juice if I have a lemon on hand.....but complicating tuna??? That's just going overboard.........BTW, I have also read a lot ya questions here on YA about Subway's tuna salad being so good, and all they use is tuna, mayo, salt and pepper.....that's it!!! Enjoy!!

Tuna is worse for cats than it is for people. Fish in general is not really good for cats. They like it, but htink about it: Cats don't fish in nature! They eat birds, mice.. (they don't eat cows either for that matter, so I don't feed beef). Salmon I do make an exception, since it includes some healthy omega oils for my kitties, and I also supplement some salmon oil. But tuna, besides the mercury, is very bad for cats. They do sell cat food brands that are not su pposed to be as bad, but I would steer clear. THIS PART IS IMPORTANT! It also does not have taurine needed for your cat, so if you only feed human tuna, then your cat could easily develop heart disease or another dangerous illness. If you can primarily use foodstamps, I would buy chicken and even liver to make homemade food for your kitty, and then at least get some kind of supplement made to include all those other vitamins desparately needed for your cats survival. In the wild, they eat entire animals, minus the bones, not just the meaty parts we normally eat. I am sorry for your situation, but if you only need to buy some supplements -- and do research online to make sure you are getting everything your kitty needs -- then it should be a little less expensive. And chicken, when cut up to cat sized pieces and frozen, comes to the same price for me as if I were buying a bunch of cheap brand tuna cans. **Edit, that is a great idea to add some inexpensive dry food to something like raw or cooked chicken -- that could solve the supplement problem. Also, the litter box idea is very interesting and should save you money. I also agree that you are doing a great thing. I am sure your relationship with this kitty will be very rewarding! As for people who say to call the animal shelter, I see where they are coming from and I hate it when people get cats they don't want to care for. But many animals at the shelter are put to death, so there is not really a win win by taking away a home it has with a caring person, just because it may not be ideal. There are already a lot of animals needing homes, and hopefully your situation will improve in the future. This kitty gives you a new goal to work towards:) Once you get him on a healthy diet that can prevent things like liver and kidney issues in the future, then you guys can have an awesome long life together.

I am going to take a stab in the dark on this & say chunk white. the reason white is more expensive. but they probably have about the same nutrition value

Answer 4

actually, albacore tuna has the most nutritional value. Packed in water (of course).
