Egg, Chicken, And Tuna Salad...good To Go For You?

[Passionatehrt 15]

Are chicken, egg, and tuna salad easy to go down?

Could they be considered a slider food?

I know it's different for everyone but I was just curious for everyone's experiences with it. And I mean tuna, egg, and chicken with a little mayo not with lettuce.

I have been eating it every day at work. Now that you mention slider foods-you may be right. Sometimes, I can only get in a few bites and other days-the whole thing. One thing I did notice is how much sodium tuna has! Yikes!!! I am in the process of trying to find some alternatives. A 3 oz. chicken breast is a whole lot healthier and will make me chew, chew, chew then having the tuna. I am going to work on my lunch menu. Thanks for mentioning slider foods because I can totally see that as being so.

Yah...I like all of those salads but I want to stay full for a long time, make it easy, and not have a stuck episode. I thought maybe if I put a very very little amount of mayo and hummus in all of them they will slide less. I havent had a visit with a dietician yet so I cant wait to see what she says. Thanks for your reply.

I would check out Trader Joes to see if they have a lower sodium tuna. I love to have tuna because it is so easy to prepare.

Those sound like very good choices to me. They all are good sources of Protein e

which is a good thing!

Absolutely! And easy to make...I need fast foods to make. Didnt realize tuna had a lot of sodium...ill check out Trader Joe's but I wonder if the tuna packets are better with the sodium.

In no way is salad a slider food neither are whole Proteins like tuna and chicken, slider food is more like mushie type food, Soups or food that passes very quickly through the band and doesnt get stuck. Nothing wrong in eating healthy slider foods if u arent eating calorie laden junk food, but you are less likely to get your full signals if you do .. i live on salads through the summer so keep on going with the salads they are excellent meal choices

I was a salt addict but use low salt now on my tuna as i cant stand tuna without any salt at all but i dont mix in the salt in like i used to i sprinkle it on top so it helps keep the flavour but u dont need as much ..

Cazzy, so tuna, egg, or chicken with mayo wouldnt be considered a slider food? I know it would be healthy but Id want it to stay and keep me full for a while. Would it not be mushie enough to go right through? I just got banded and cant eat real food until May 11th...lol. So Im just gathering info right now. Thanks Cazzie for responding.

I eat it at least these salads 2 to 3 times a week.

I do think mixed tuna could be slider like. Personally not a mayo fan (never have been). I have mixed tuna with low fat laughing cow cheese. Since it's cheese you can also heat it in the microwave. Instead of using bread or crackers try a romaine lettuce leaf as a "wrap".

Yum....I will try the laughing cow cheese with it. I normally eat it plain but I will try it with lettuce as a wrap...thanks!

I think "sliders" are like milkshakes, mashed potatoes, sugary puddings and ice creams ... stuff like that. chicken salad and tuna salad dont really fal into that category.
