jhontry 03-02-2003 10:00 AM	i am 16, 5'8 ft, 143 lbs, but i just dont get how many salmon or tuna to eat, for example if it was the size of an average can of tunna, how much i am supposed to eat to get the right amount of protein and omega 3 fatty acids ? thanks
bk 03-02-2003 07:24 PM	Hi, I will try to answer your question, but Wai may have something else to say, or may correct me. quote: i am 16, 5'8 ft, 143 lbs, but i just dont get how many salmon or tuna to eat Use the nutrient calculator to figure this out. Set the RDA/FDA to your age/height/weight and then fiddle with the quantities. quote: for example if it was the size of an average can of tunna, how much i am supposed to eat to get the right amount of protein and omega 3 fatty acids ? Hmmm? I don't understand. Do not eat canned tuna! It has been processed and is no longer raw. It can cause acne. Hope that helps, Brian
jhontry 03-03-2003 03:39 PM	thanks brian but i dont mean canned tuna, i am giving an example of the size of a can of tuna, that way you can tell me 'how much to eat according to my age to get enough protein and omega 3? thanks
Wai 03-04-2003 01:07 PM	hi jhontry, quote: i am giving an example of the size of a can of tuna, that way you can tell me 'how much to eat according to my age consuming lots of fruits, you need to eat about 3.5 oz fresh raw salmon or tuna daily in my country (the netherlands), the smallest cans of tuna contain about 150 gram, which is a bit more than 5 oz
jhontry 03-04-2003 02:50 PM	thank you
jhontry 03-07-2003 12:35 PM	hi Wai and members i went to these japanese restaurant, 2.75 dollars for one little piece of tuna, i ask if it was fresh and not from the freezer 'they said yes' i dont know if is true, anyway it tasted really nice, my question is if one little piece for times a week is enough to be healthy, also when is the ideal time to eat it? thanks
Wai 03-07-2003 12:39 PM	did you mean to say 4 little (sashimi) pieces of tuna a week? if so, that is a bit little... why don't you also consume fresh raw egg yolk?
jhontry 03-07-2003 03:38 PM	hi Wai, i dont eat raw yolks because i cant find fresh egg anywhere where i live, anyway if i find them how many yolks with 4 or 5 sachimi pieces a week do you recommend? thanks
jhontry 03-07-2003 04:37 PM	what if i eat one little piece of sachimi 6-7 days a week? would i still need the yolks? thanks for your time
Wai 03-12-2003 12:54 PM	quote: i dont eat raw yolks because i cant find fresh egg anywhere where i live have you tested them? quote: if i find them how many yolks with 4 or 5 sachimi pieces a week do you recommend? the 4 to 5 pieces sashimi a week is almost negligible 2 to 3 egg yolks a day is perfect quote: what if i eat one little piece of sachimi 6-7 days a week? would i still need the yolks? not for the vitamin B12, but regarding protein and other nutrients (iron), it is still too little. do you eat Brazil nuts?
jhontry 03-12-2003 03:41 PM	hi miss Wai, i eat brazil nuts, but i am starting to eat the egg yolks{i take them out of the refrigerator 1 hour prior to eat them), i am noticing that i am getting some pimples (maybe from the egg yolks), is this normal in the first days? should i eat 2 or 3 egg yolks if i am at the same time eating about 10 brazil nuts daily?, i think i dont gonna eat any more suchi, is this o.k? how many egg yolks and how many brazil nuts would you recommend me daily? if also drink about 4 table spoons of olive oil daily. Could you just recommend me how much fats to eat daily? please. I hope i am not boring you with so many questions thank you
