According to this article/chart:
Chunk Light Tuna 25g, 6oz can, in water
Chunk White Albacore 0g, 6oz can, in water
Albacore Steak 0g, 4oz pouch
Blufin Steak, 0g, 6oz Raw
Ahi Steak, 0g, 6oz Raw
25g in a can of Chunk Light? The pictures in the article show the Chunk Light as a Bumble Bee product so I went to
http://www.bumblebee.com/products_indiv.jsp?prodid=107
which confirmed my suspicions that it was a misprint, unless for some reason there was something added to the tuna that no one is telling us. After analyzing the data, further logic came into play.
As with most other meat:
more marbled/intracellular fat/dark meat poultry=more fat content.
I assume "light" tuna really means "dark meat" tuna which is higher in fat.
Since most meat has negligible carb count and every other form of tuna listed in the article has 0g, I came to the conclusion that the copywriter/designer inadvertently mixed the two numbers up and listed 25g under carbs instead of fat.
If I'm wrong in my assumptions, please correct me but this would make "Chunk Light" the absolute best tuna for Atkineers.
As they always say: "Don't believe everything you read. Always fact-check."
