Meal prep staples just make life easier. On busy weeks, having something in the fridge that’s high in protein, has fiber, and still feels light is key. Healthy tuna salad is something that can be made once and enjoyed for a few days—as lunch, a quick snack, or even a simple dinner.

Tuna is a high-quality protein that supports muscle maintenance, energy, and satiety—something that becomes even more important with age. Having protein ready to go removes a lot of the guesswork during the day and helps avoid reaching for less nourishing options. Always buy wild tuna to avoid the potential mercury.
