I also eat veggies and fruits and only drink water.
Answers:
Depends on the type of tuna. But most likely you're not buying the best kind which is much more expensive than what you will find in the store. You shouldn't even be eating 1 can per week! STOP AND STOP NOW!!! There are other ways to get protein in. Nuts and quinoa are a great alternative for this. Also green leafy vegetables are a great way. Research the difference kinds of lettuce and you'll see that they have a lot of protein in them. Are you even eating salads? If not you're cheating yourself.

Wrong board. Fish eaters aren't vegetarians.
A Lady i used to work with got Mercury Poisoning from eating lots off Tuna fish. So I would say yes. She ate about the same amount of as you.
I also found this link below that debates it.
no this is not safe a normal person should only eat about a can a half a week your intake of mercury is dangerous
yea that is a good food to get your healthy body working.
Why ask this in the Veggie and Vegan forum ?
Go ask it of other meateaters.
With all that mercury poisoning, your kids will have 3 legs.
that is not safe
eating that much tuna might be a bad idea due to possibly high levels of mercury that is found in the larger game fish nowadays. I'm not a doctor though so if you are truly concerned you may check with a doctor or at least a nutritionist.
