^^^^Depends on what your goals are

I read he did that somewhere, think it was an add for his supps. i think tuna can be a good item to be in a cutting diet but just tuna hell no i would loose to much mass

If you ate nothing but tuna I doubt you'd get enough fats, the carb depletion would blow moose cawk and I can't imagine the level of mercury buildup that would result.

I eat 3-4 cans of tuna daily. But i eat other foods. macros = 40/30/30. And LAst yr cuttin i ate too alot and got really shredded. but i still hit 40/30/30 on a calorie defecit.

For one, if Stallone was 2% bf, I will eat tuna the rest of my life, can and all.

I just read somewhere that Stallone is 228 lbs. at a height of 5'9. The guy's pushing 60 too. Not sure about the tuna diet but I know he did fat loading with peanut butter before shooting a few scenes of Judge Dredge. Not that it helped any for box office sales.

Fat and sugar loading pre contest or photo shoot after a severe depletion works very well. Will make you look full and hard and dry.

Fat loading only works if your glycogen levels are already full. Correct? For example Monday and Tuesday you would load up on carbs and then fat and sugar load for the next 3 days before a show or photo shoot?

Tuna mixed with mustard on Wheat bread. the wheat bread i have is pretty good 2gs of protein a slice. i could do that for a couple of weeks or so. 2% bf isnt that death

You can put it that way, with the fat yes.....here is the scenario.

When you get to the point where you are looking very flat, you have pretty well depleted. Carb loading is then an issue, and you should do it for the amount of time that you know works for you.

I deplete for instance M, T and W of the show week, then load T&F. Pre stage Saturday, fats and sugars.
