Tuna fish

I love tuna and yeah there is supposed to be mercury poisoning in fish due to contaminated waters and streams and what-not.

I would rotate. Chicken one or two days in a row, then tuna...tuna is cheap as hell at Walmart and I buy the whole cardboard box of them at a time.

I've dropped Tuna to 3 days a week and replaced it with salmon for the other 3. and of course whatever I fancy on a Sunday. Most like a bit of variety.

I'm not convinced on the mercury thing. Can anyone explain to me what the side effects of too much mercury in my fish would be?

Symptoms of Mercury Poisoning in Adults

Mercury is destructive to the immune system and causes many unrelated diseases. This can delay the treatment, because in the absence of peculiar symptoms, both doctor and patient attempt to cure other possible diseases. Hence, it is a must that you identify certain symptoms that are associated with mercury poisoning.

Psychological Disturbances
Fits of anger, short term memory loss, low self-esteem, inability to sleep, loss of self-control, sleepiness are some signs of psychological disturbances. Besides, a person may also suffer from the loss of ability to learn new things or things that require memorization.

Oral Cavity Problems
Inflammation of the mouth, loss of bone around teeth, ulcerated gums and other areas in the mouth, darkening of gums, taste of metal, bleeding gums etc., point to a possibility of mercury poisoning.

Digestive Tract Problems
Cramps, inflamed colon, diarrhea and other digestive problems are also indicative of mercury poisoning.

Cardiovascular Problems
Weak pulse, blood pressure changes, chest pain or feeling of pressure in the chest area are some cardiovascular problems associated with this condition.

Respiratory problems
Weakness and problems with breathing, emphysema, persistent cough are some respiratory problems that are linked with mercury poisoning.

Neurological Problems
Headaches, vertigo, tinnitus, twitching in various areas of the body (eyelids, feet etc.), may be warning signs of mercury overexposure.

Thank you drako! And there is enough mercury in fish to cause these problems?

In large doses I'd imagine so. I went through a phase a few years back where I ate about4-5 cans of tuna a day (due to it being cheap and a high source of protein) after a few months I started to suffer serious headaches, forgetting things, names. Went to the docs, asked if I changed anything I ate or started a new supplement i mentioned my diet he pointed out the possibility of mercury poisoning and to cut down on the tuna.

Jump forward a few years things seem be better. But that's js my personal experience tbf there were no tests to confirm mercury but I'm not gonna risk it again.

I know this is a bit off topic but I really dread the day that I have to tell a doc everything I am taking lol. I cant just imagine the look on a doctors face between the supplements, fat burners/stimulants, peptides, and all the cycles.

I eat tuna a lot but will be eating more salmon, but for sure will not cancel out tuna completly. Not too worried about the mercury issue, been eating tuna all my life without any issues.

Some Tuna VS Salmon info:

Tuna: A tuna would destroy a salmon in a race and the quality of its muscle is a testament to this. A small 100g fillet will give you 23.4g of protein, compared to the salmons 19.8g. The open ocean is obviously better at grooming more muscle-building protein. So when you're spoilt for choice, there may be plenty of other fish in the sea, but tuna has the most protein.

Salmon: Protein isn't the only ingredient of muscle. In fact, as a study by Texas A&M University found men with a moderate cholesterol intake had better muscle gains than those on a low-cholesterol diet, regardless of their protein intake. The researchers hypothesised the cholesterol may aid in muscle repair; and thats where salmons 55mg of cholesterol overshadows tuna's 44mg, which will tip the scales in the pink ones favour.

 

[Drako]

Agreed I'll still eat tuna, js not in the vast amounts I used to.

 

[D-Cal]

I remember when the only protien I was eating was tuna, got so sick of it I can't touch it anymore unless it has low fat mayo mixed in

 

[Drako]

I have mine with a Spanish sauce, which can be found in most stores. It's mainly tomato and pepper based. That with a bead of brown rice does the trick for me.

 

[darkside06]

I eat a 5oz can every day.

All I have to say is Tuna, Peanut Butter "Chunky", and Chicken Breast. Light protein shakes after workout. 25g of Casein Protein at bed time. If you are a hard gainer mix whey with Casein protein. I put on 12lbs in a month naturally. "Deflated later after diet slowed down" Then started to put quality muscle that lasted longer. Combo is everything.
