Notes

Nutritional values may vary and are meant to be a guide. 
Draining Tuna Fish
Open your tuna fish cans, and carefully drain the water, or excess oil out. You can add the tuna to a colander for a cleaner method. I do like my chunk light tuna in oil because it offers more flavor to a blander, "fishier fish".
However, for your drain's sake I suggest draining the cans liquid contents into a plastic shopping bag and discarding it in the trash. You should never pour oil down the drain because it ruins your pipes and can affect sewage and septic systems.
