Tuna in water or oil?

[Arab_Carter]

I also wanted to ask: why is tuna in water recommended over tuna in oil? There are high levels of omega 3 in those oils.

Only if olive oil. Never get them in soya oil. I would just normally do water though. Less calories

Often the reason people choose tuna is because it can be a very low-fat source of protein. (It's certainly not for the taste!)

 

But I think it just depends what your goals are. If you need the extra fats, go for oily. If you're trying to stay low-fat, go for water.

The tuna in water can be quite dry if that makes any sense.

Have another read of any can.  There are only trace amounts of omega fats present as it was removed during processing, and replaced with olive oil or some cheap vegetable oil.
