Yes, but with a spoonful of common sense. Tuna is a fantastic source of lean protein, omega-3s, and essential nutrients. It’s cheap, shelf-stable, and doesn’t make you wait until dinner—it’s the ultimate lazy-healthy food.
The catch? Moderation is key. Think of tuna like that fun friend who’s great in small doses but exhausting if you see them every day. Aim for 2-3 servings a week of light tuna (skipjack) or 1 serving of albacore, and you’re golden.
If you’re still worried, mix it up: eat sardines (tiny, low-mercury, and oddly satisfying) or grilled salmon. Variety is the spice of life, and also the antidote to heavy metal paranoia. Now go forth, open that can, and eat like the magnificent, slightly fishy human you are.
Disclaimer: I am not a doctor, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last week. Consult your actual doctor before eating 30 pounds of tuna. You’ll thank me later.
