Nutritionist notes: Tuna is a great low-calorie source of protein. However, for this stage you should make sure it is very moist so that it's easy to eat. An easy way to do so is by mixing it with Greek yogurt like in this recipe. Plus, you get an extra protein boost from the yogurt. Don't forget to eat in small bites and chew your food at least 25 times!
