Being featured as main source of protein in the 3 day diet, Tuna itself is a fish rich in benefit. Tuna is rich in nutrients including selenium, magnesium, potassium, B Vitamins and contain the holy omega-3 fat acids. Omega 3 Acids are found in a large amount in fatty fish like tuna. As stated in my writing about Grilled Salmon Recipe and benefit of Sushi in Diet, Omega 3 acids actually help lower the probability of heart disease while still being an excellent source of protein for us, the dieters.
Americans enjoy eating canned Tuna, but according to Stacey Viera, from National Fisheries Institute, only 20% of Americans eat enough seafood to significantly feel any benefit. And while canned Tuna itself is still rich in protein, there's few better than fresh Tuna.
Tuna is also a good choice both for dieters and for body builder. Since Tuna provides a lot of protein to be formed into muscle, Tuna itself is low on fat. Protein is crucial in forming lean muscle mass and providing your body with energy needed for daily activities. And that makes Tuna is wonderful for your daily consumption. Let's try this easy recipe combining Tuna and negative calories ingredients.
100 grams of Tuna contain approximately 60% of our body protein need. And thankfully this fish is low in fat unlike other high protein foods.
Since it's so wonderful, let's make things even better for dieters by combining tuna into negative calories salad. Negative calories foods are foods that contain so little calories that our body will need more calories to digest the foods. So by eating them naturally our body will burn calories faster.
