How do I puree canned tuna?
Yep, I'd just use a fork and mix it with a little light mayo and SF sweet pickle juice. It helps it 'slide' down. Just try a bite or two at a time till you know how it's going to sit. This is the time that you're eating so little, you can eat more often and not worry about calories, etc. What I did because I was journaling my food to track my protein, I just measured out 1/4 cup and made mini meals out of it for the day. That made it easier to know how much I was really getting instead of trying to break down a tablespoon of "X" food for lunch, etc.

Tuna comes in two different cuts in cans, solid and chunk. Buy the chunk, packed in water. Use a potato masher or a large kitchen knife on the drained tuna. Mix with light mayo or light ranch dressing and whatever seasonings you like.
I think the problems is you pureed it too much.
During the puree phase, I personally found that hummus and the like were better choices and a lot less work.

Thanks for all the advice, everyone.
Tonight, I took a can of salmon, carefully removed all the bones and skin and mashed the salmon with about 4 tsp of low fat mayo. It was WONDERFUL!!! I was getting so sick and tired of having different forms of dairy as a pureed protein. I'll be doing this same thing with tuna in a few days. Again, can't thank you all enough for your great advice.
