How do i know how much tuna is an acceptable amount to eat in a day?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tuna - mercury: Big eye & ahi tuna should be avoided due to high mercury level. Yellow fin & white albacore tuna intake should be limited (no more than 3 – 6 oz servings per month). Skipjack & canned chunk light tuna have a lower amount of mercury (no more than 6 6-oz servings per month).
