Tuna itself is fantastic for weight loss – high protein, low calories. But the mayo is the calorie bomb! If you track your macros like I do, you'll see regular mayo adds a lot. Switch to light mayo or, even better, Greek yogurt for the creaminess. That way, your tuna salad still supports your weight loss goals without sabotaging them.

I always get so confused about what to eat for weight loss! Tuna with mayo sounds simple and tasty. But isn't mayo super high in calories? Does anyone else struggle with how to make it tasty but still healthy for losing weight? I don't want to add unnecessary calories.

Ho na, tuna is good for protein, keeps you full. But with mayo, you have to be careful. Regular mayo has lots of oil, so that's not good for weight loss. Thoda light mayo use karo, ya dahi ke saath banao. Tab hi accha hoga weight loss ke liye, na?

Tuna alone is fine for weight loss, as it's lean protein. But tuna *with mayo* can be very caloric. It depends entirely on the type and amount of mayo. If you're serious about weight loss, get a proper diet plan from a dietician. Don't just assume it's good, check the facts for your body type.
