So, is a tuna sandwich healthy? The honest answer is: it depends entirely on what you put in it. A simple mix of light tuna (lower in mercury), plain Greek yogurt instead of mayo, whole-grain bread, and a fistful of celery? That’s a power lunch, my friend.
On the flip side, a pile of albacore tuna slathered in full-fat mayo on a fluffy white roll is basically a fast-food meal in disguise. It’s not the worst thing you could eat, but it’s not the best either. It’s just… a sandwich. A delicious, nostalgic, possibly mercury-laced sandwich.
So what’s the takeaway? Be mindful, not scared. Swap the mayo for avocado or yogurt once in a while. Choose chunk light tuna for everyday eating. And for heaven’s sake, stop eating it over your laptop, Dave. Your keyboard has suffered enough.
