Does Canned Tuna Have Healthy Fats?
You may see advertising on tuna cans that it is high in omega-3, a good fat. While this is true of whole tuna, it is not always true with canned tuna. Look at the nutrition label and get tuna with higher fat if you want the omega-3 fatty acids. If they advertise high omega-3, but a serving only has .5 grams of fat, you aren’t really getting many good fats.
