Separate the label basis from drained tuna weight

Calories and protein in Dardanel Light Tuna

The manufacturer’s Light Tuna label lists 95 kcal and 21.4 g protein per 100 g, with 0.4 g fat and 0.8 g carbohydrate. On that same basis, 75 g provides 71 kcal and 16.05 g protein; 80 g provides 76 kcal. ^[1]

Does a can’s net weight equal drained fish?

Net contents and drained weight can differ. The manufacturer’s online table says “100 g” without explicitly identifying drained fish. The 75 g and 80 g calculations above are therefore same-basis weight examples, not the drained yield of every can. If your pack states values for drained contents, weigh the drained fish and use that declaration.

The Light Tuna pouch has a separate supplier label of 122 kcal and 27 g protein per 100 g. Do not combine the canned, pouch and oil-packed figures. Dardanel sunflower-oil tuna also requires its own label. The can and draining calculation for Dardanel olive-oil tuna also uses its own label, rather than the light product’s figures.

Building a salad or sandwich

Bread, pasta, olive oil and dressing add their own energy to the meal. The word “Light” does not cancel oil you add. This reference declares 1 g salt per 100 g, equivalent to about 400 mg sodium. If you limit salt, count both the tuna portion and salty accompaniments.

The manufacturer declares 40 mg combined EPA+DHA per 100 g; do not assume all fish supply the same amount. Fibre, cholesterol and many micronutrients are not reported here. The protein figure alone does not support a universal recommendation to eat one can every day. For a sauced option, the tomato-sardine pasta contribution is calculated with the sauce: 100 g declares 225 calories and 21.1 g protein, with its recipe oil already included in that energy.

The 250 g example of hearty tuna salad with greens, mustard and olive oil provides about 321 kcal. This separate recipe estimate includes the dressing as well as fish; choosing Light Tuna does not automatically produce a revised nutrition table for it.

Storage after opening

The manufacturer specifies a closed container at 4°C and use within two days after opening. If you add oil for storage, include the amount actually eaten in the calculation. Follow the date and storage directions on the unopened pack.
