DIET and NUTRITION:

Whether you are new to low-carb nutrition or a seasoned carb-counting veteran, albacore tuna is a natural fit in your regime. Albacore tuna is naturally low in carbohydrates, and rich in heart-healthy Omega-3 fatty acids. Albacore is a good source of protein but does not have the high saturated fat that fatty meat products do.

For information on the health benefits of Omega-3 fatty acids check the report by registered dietition Joyce A. Nettleton on the albatuna.com website.

Other good links for nutritional information include:

The albatuna.com website also maintains an extensive recipe list for albacore tuna.
