Chunks > Flakes

I was worried about the side effects of eating too much tuna.
Tuna adds variety to low fat, low cholesterol menus and is the perfect addition to a healthy, balanced diet. Tuna is a rich source of the nutrients that are essential to healthy and balanced diets and have protective and therapeutic effects on our health. Canned tuna not only provides a rich source of lean protein, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins and minerals, but also is low in saturated fats and cholesterol.

[...] Fitness gurus have long praised tuna because it is high in protein, but naturally low in fat, unlike many other high protein foods.

A naturally low cholesterol, low fat food, tuna helps the body eliminate bad fats consumed from eating other foods. What's more, eating tuna and foods rich in omega 3 fatty acids can help lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of stroke.

Hahahahaha. Yay! Makes me feel better after ponning jogging yesterday. :D Somehow, tuna chunks taste nicer than flakes.
