Title: In a can: Chicken V.S. tuna
Post by: Eat2Grow on May 13, 2007, 12:36:30 PM: Everything is identical nutrition wise other than tuna has 250 mg sodium and the canned chicken only has 180mg. Why does everyone eat tuna instead of canned chicken? The chicken tastes so much better and is the same price.

Am I missing something here? ???

I tend to agree...

Canned salmon is on sale right now for $1/can - usually $1.59 ;D

Post by: SWOLETRAIN on May 14, 2007, 11:31:34 AM: tuna is $.50 a can where i shop and the costco chicken can is like $2.50. I can care less about the sodium content. Something about that damn nasty tuna that makes me get shredded. and 30g protein for fifty cents is a bargin. Its just so darn grosss!!!

Yikes :o
you sure ??? That's like pure fat!

Swanson is the brand I see most often. Def. more $$$ than tuna and less protein per can, but if you can get it on sale, it's a nice change of pace.

I don't think you have any of the Roundy's Supermarkets on your side of the pond :-\

My husband asked if I was expecting a nuclear attack with the stockpile :P

We don't over here. Funny my wife asked the same thing when I had upwards of 150 cans in the pantry (I also give it to my cats as a treat sometimes).
