Anyone here eat a full can of tuna after a workout, it has a alot of protein but alot of fat.............. i started eating a can after a workout, but i just wanna know if its alright to do so

a can of tuna has a lot of fat?

15 grams man plus the mayo i add for easy eating taste ............. so yeah that is a lot of fat for a small can of tuna......... thats why im asking if its healthy eating a whole can

lol.. yea, check the label again. Per serving is something like 22 grams protein, <1 carbs, 1 gram fat, depending on the type and brand.

Post workout carbs are the most important... so make sure you get plenty of simple (or complex, but simple refills glycogen much quicker) along with your tuna. Make a tuna, dextrose, honey shake. Then again, maybe not

If you can, avoid fats post workout. They will do nothing for you.. but go to your fat reserves once you spike your insulin. Go for carbs protein only, and go for a lot of carbs. Something in the range of 80grams up

I would say a can of tuna and glass of milk is the perfect after workout meal. You still need the good ffats in your diet. Tuna and milk have the good fats.

Tuna isn't something I would consume "right after a workout" for the simple fact that it will take longer for the body to break down as oppose to cottage cheese which is a lot easier on the stomach (if your not lactose and tollerant).

Protein is key after any med/high intensity workout. But make sure your not filling yourself for at least 1hr after any workout.

its a "solid light"<--- well i dont take no insulin or anything like that ....... i dont relaly get into supplements except ocassionally i take a multi vit. pill............ How much CARBS can i take to build my body as effectively as possible, lots of sh*t has like 45 grams + more

damn tunas fattening ? i b eating that for snacks n sh*t

not the tuna, the mayo he drowns the tuna in is fattening

I beg to differ. From my understanding, it is BEST to fill your stomach (with a protein rich meal) within an hour after working out.

Where did you hear otherwise?

You are suppose to have protein already in your system before you start the work-out. So the torn muscles have it available for healing. Take a protein shake or a can of tuna with some carbs a hour before your work-out. If your taking creatine you need to take that right after your workout without the food. If your not taking creatine you should have a post workout out meal a hour after you work out.

tuna is definately good for you. just easy on the mayo..or even none at all. just put a little tobasco sauce and eat up

smackaheffa's on point. props dawg

cholula's dope too.

I eat a lot of tuna...and I have tried........salsa, hot sauce, A-1, and mustard to name a few....dont hate on it until you try it.

I eat tuna after workouts....here's my recipe no mayo......Dice up some tomato, onion, cilantro aka coriander, half a jalapeno mix with tuna and lemon juice, a lil salt to taste......mmmmmmm good

I like mixing a can in with some kraft mac and cheese. Ghetto Tuna Caserole - MMMMMMMMMMM!

I meant as soon as the routine is complete. I'm not saying don't eat tuna an hour after you get out of the gym... You shouldn't consume food immediately after working out is what I was trying to say.

Thanks for clearing things up.

heh

This will get u fresh tuna off the streets

damnit use fat free mayo with fat free tuna. boom. there ya go.

what kinda tuna are you buying...starkist chunk light has 0 grams of fat..and about 33 grams of protein per can. I'd be more worried about the mercury content than the fat. just cut out the mayo...or go real light on it....or learn to make tuna fish casserolle.

^^ Yea, to add to that, I heard its not good to eat tuna on a regular basis because of the mercury it contains.

ya, not healthy, everything in moderation, switch it up w. eggs and chicken and other high protein items, cause that mercury aint good for u

Some canned tuna ain't that good, still, fish is an amazing source for lean protien and omega-3 fatty acids which hey stimulate muscle growth, recovery, weight loss, and everything else.

Just for those, I would take the risk of the mercury.

might want to omit the mayo from the post gym food! avoid the fats
