Measuring canned tuna
The record is light tuna canned in water, drained solids, at 90 kcal per 100 g. That figure fits the fish after draining. USDA also lists a total can contents row, which includes the liquid, so do not apply the per-gram figure to the liquid. Tuna packed in oil, pouch tuna, flavored tuna and tuna salad are different products and are not covered. Your own can may hold a different drained weight, so weigh it. Mayonnaise, oil and bread are separate entries. Fresh tuna steak is another product with its own page.
