I agree with you I weigh 171 down from 176 just started this life style change. Last time I lost my weight end weight 130, I used splenda in stead of sugar in my coffee and on strawberries everything I shouldn't eat on a diet I used splenda on. I started feeling bad and craving sugary foods and now I realize that you have to change the way you eat splenda is just a chemical and it's not good for you. So I'm not on a diet I'm changing my way of eating for ever.

A little off-topic but, Maggie -- they say when you're craving sugar (sweet) you should eat protein -- especially at breakfast!
Here is a good article.
Hope that helps...

I ended up putting a tablespoon of A-1 steak sauce on it. It was really good. Any other ideas for making canned tuna tasty and still low cal?

Hi. I like dill and olives with pimento on my tuna. Olive oil also helps a LOT! And lettuce and celery go well with this combo. Sliced tomatoes add color. And fresh green or colored peppers are delightful.

As a snack, I like it with cottage cheese, with a little bit of sweet bell pepper or spicy jalapeno slices.

I also like to use tuna as part of a meal. Lately, I've been putting it in my quinoa/brown rice mixture, along with peppers, extra virgin olive oil, and garbanzo beans. I mix it all together and have a really filling, really satisfying snack that fits in my calorie budget nicely.

I make Tuna salad with tomato, one half of a lemon, cucumber, red/yellow peppers, dill, cilantro, 1 tbsp. olives, spicy dipping sauce, onions, and spinach.

It comes up to 335 calories and that's including the sauce. See my blog for more info if you want, I also make it with bean sprouts and lettuce sometimes.
