How Much Tuna Can You Eat Safely? The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) states that we can safely eat about 12 ounces of fish--about two average portions--per week, to help us fill up on the good things fish can offer, like Omega-3 fatty acids and high-quality protein, while skipping out on dietary baddies like saturated fats.
Recommendations for canned tuna are different than those for fresh tuna steaks, which tend to contain higher levels of mercury. Vulnerable populations should limit intake of fresh tuna to just 6 ounces per week, advises the FDA. If you are wary about consuming fish for fear of its effects on your unborn child, be aware that consuming too little omega-3 fatty acids can also negatively affect your babyâs development.
