1. Tuna is a fairly generic name for a variety of species of fish. In the United States, any canned "white" tuna must be albacore, while 'light' tuna can include skipjack, tongol, bigeye or yellowfin.
2. A 5-ounce can of solid white albacore tuna contains 160 calories, 22 grams of protein and 8 grams of fat. A 5-ounce can of chunk light tuna contains 100 calories, 22 grams of protein and 1 gram of fat.
3. Most of the fat in albacore tuna is healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Increasing your intake of this type of fat is associated with increased fat-burning and enhanced recovery.
