Macho-est Fish Around
7:07 AM | Author: UrbanProphet


I'm starting a 12 week fitness plan and part of the plan, aside from the exercises is the diet i'd have to follow. I found out that tuna seems to be an integral part of any body builders diet so i decided to think up a few low-cal, low-fat recipes you could use with tuna straight out of the can...

Lemon Pepper Tuna:

Season tuna with fresh lemon juice and fresh ground pepper or sprinkle with lemon pepper seasoning

Balsamic Tuna:

Season tuna with 1 tbsp Balsamic vinegar, a few dashes oregano (optional), and fresh ground pepper

Mustard Dill Tuna:

Dill, 1 tbsp mustard, and chopped celery

Southwest Tuna:

Stir in 1 tbsp non-fat mayo, ¼ of a green chili (chopped), black pepper to taste

Honey Mustard Tuna:

Mix in 1-2 tbsp Honey Mustard or for a sugar-free version, use 1 tbsp deli mustard and 1/2 packet sugar replacement

Tuna "Fried" Rice:

Sauté cooked brown rice, chopped green or yellow onions, and egg whites in pan sprayed with 1 teaspoon of olive-oil. Mix in albacore tuna chunks and serve.

Stuffed Tomato:

Mix 1 tbsp non-fat mayo, pepper and tuna and stuff in a tomato. Top tomato with a slice of mozzarella cheese and bake in toaster oven or microwave until cheese melts.

Mexican Tuna:

Serve tuna with 1 heaping tablespoon salsa or 1 tbsp chopped green chili

Tuna Italiano:

Toss tuna in 1 tbsp Italian dressing or olive oil vinaigrette, fresh ground pepper

Tuna Piccata:

Stir in 1 tsp capers, fresh lemon juice, ½ tsp parsley, & fresh ground pepper

Classic Tuna Mayo:

Stir in 1-2 tbsp low-fat or fat-free mayo, 1 chopped pickle, ½ stalk chopped celery, and 1 tbsp chopped onion/onion flakes (optional)

BBQ Tuna:

Round up 1 tbsp BBQ sauce and mix it into can of tuna

Tuna Melt:

Mix in 1-2 tbsp low-fat or fat-free mayo, and melt 1 oz. cheese on top (Whole-wheat, rye, or Ezekial 4:9 bread is optional)

Tuna Parmesan:

Mix in 1 tbsp catsup, tomato sauce, or spaghetti sauce. Sprinkle mixture with breadcrumbs or a crushed cracker and top with 1 oz. part-skim mozzarella cheese. Cook in microwave or toaster oven until cheese melts.

No-Time Tuna:

1 Fork, 1 glass of water

I hope any-one else out there on the "program'" will find this useful! :-)
