Tuna is a lean fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and B vitamins. DASH emphasizes fish 2-3 times per week. Fresh or water-packed tuna is low in sodium. Canned tuna in oil or salt should be rinsed or chosen low-sodium.
Tuna is an excellent lean protein source with ~25-26g protein per 3 oz serving, minimal carbs (~0g), and low fat (~1g for canned in water, ~5g for fresh). It is an ideal Zone protein block building material. Additionally, tuna provides omega-3 fatty acids, which align with Sears' anti-inflammatory focus. One of the most favorable protein choices for Zone.
Tuna is a fatty fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) with strong anti-inflammatory properties. Reduces inflammatory markers (CRP, IL-6) in research. High in selenium and B vitamins. Aligns with anti-inflammatory emphasis on fatty fish.
Tuna is high in protein (25-30g per 3oz), low in fat (especially canned in water), and nutrient-dense with omega-3 fatty acids. Easy to digest and portion-friendly. Canned tuna in water is convenient and shelf-stable. Fresh tuna is equally excellent. Supports muscle preservation and satiety.
