How does tuna salad fit your goals?

Most of the calories in tuna salad come from fat (15.8g per 1/2 cup (100g)), which makes it calorie-dense — easy to under-portion if you're eyeballing. Dietary fat is essential for hormone production and absorbing fat-soluble vitamins, but at 9 calories per gram it's also the macro most people accidentally over-consume when they stop weighing portions.

Diet-wise, tuna salad fits keto and low-carb eating patterns.

Micronutrients worth noting

Tuna salad doesn't stand out on micronutrients at this serving size. Worth flagging on the other side of the ledger: a serving carries 18% of the daily sodium limit, which matters if you eat it often.
