I use water packed but add a tablespoon of full fat mayonaise - and thats even better!Atkins didn't say 'Calories don't count',
he said, 'Don't count calories.'

I believe I read in DANDR that the oil packed is recommended -- it is packed in olive oil. It said that oil packed is better for cooked meals, and water packed better for out-of-the-can meals (ie tuna salad). I think it's just pesonal preference, but both are fine.

I like oil packed better--there is one that is packed in olive oil and it is delicious! I use it on top of a salad w/o draining it and then just add vinegar and you have olive oil and vinegar dressing!
