Tuna meat is the most protein-rich of all fish; it contains vitamins A, D, E, Omega 3, while it does not contain fats. In different countries, dishes from this aquatic predator are consumed in different ways. Therefore, tuna can be consumed even on a diet. It will not hurt the figure in any way.
You can safely take such a spread with you on a picnic or on the road. At the same time, it is better to store the filling and slices of bread separately from each other so that the bread does not get wet.
