Tuna is high in protein, and has almost no fat! Looking at a 6oz can of tuna (in water), it has 2.5 servings, and a single serving has 0.5 grams of fat, 0 carbs, and 13 grams of protein! Thats 60 calories, with only 5 coming from fat. Many bodybuilders eat tuna right from the can. But eating plain tuna can be kind of harsh. But it is a great source of the protein you need for muscle mass, without the fat. But something you can do is mix in some salsa for a little more taste. Salsa is great stuff in that it has no fat. It is low in calories, and is mostly made of vegetables. Salsa of mostly carbs. Anyway, give this stuff a try after a workout. You are probably not going to eat it, and say this is great, but it is a great healthy post workout snack!
Ingredients:
1 (6oz) can tuna in water
1/2 cup mild salsa.
Directions:
Mix together and eat.
this was pretty good!

Great combination for best protein. Any solution is nice to increase muscle mass as long as low fat but high protein and calories.
