Contents of Canned TunaProtein (fish)– around 25–30% (essential for muscle)Water – 60–70%Fat – 1–5% (higher if it’s in oil)Omega-3 fatty acids – around 0.2–1%Ash/Minerals – around 1–2% (includes potassium, selenium, phosphorus)Vitamins – small percentages (B12, niacin)These values vary depending on brand or preparation (e.g., fresh, canned in oil, or brine). It is also worth noting that some canned tuna usually does not have preservatives due to the canning process, and the meat being suspended in brine or oil. While some brands may use preservatives, it is not a bad thing as it is just an additional measure to make sure that the food you receive is safe and uncontaminated.
