The Payback:
To lose weight, you need to ditch saturated fat from your diet and this dish contains only 2.1g of the stuff.
The beans, vegies and wholemeal bread are all packed with complex
carbs: these are burnt slowly to give you more energy for longer and
help break down fat, particularly when mixed with the high levels of
protein you'll get from the tuna.
