Canned Tuna: Nutrition Facts and Calories
Canned tuna offers a convenient and versatile protein source, available in varieties like solid white (albacore) and chunk light, typically packed in water or oil. When selecting canned tuna, checking the Nutrition Facts label is helpful. Pay attention to sodium content; the FDA recommends a Daily Value of 2,300 mg of sodium for most adults. Some products, especially flavored ones, might contain added sugars, which the 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend limiting. For tuna packed in oil, review the saturated fat content. The DGA suggests keeping saturated fat intake to less than 10% of daily calories. Tuna is known for its omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial nutrients. While all tuna contains some mercury, levels can vary by species; albacore generally has more than skipjack (chunk light). Reading the ingredient list helps identify any added ingredients beyond tuna, water or oil, and salt. Choose options that align with your dietary needs.
