Finding convenient, high-protein snacks that fit your busy lifestyle can be challenging. Wild Planet Skipjack Wild Tuna offers approximately 32 grams of protein per serving, making it a practical choice for those seeking portable nutrition.

This wild-caught fish provides protein with essential amino acids, plus omega-3 fatty acids that many protein bars and powders lack.

Active individuals typically need 0.8 to 1.2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight, with requirements increasing for regular exercisers. Unlike many processed protein bars that contain added sugars and artificial ingredients, wild-caught fish provide complete proteins with amino acids. The combination of protein and healthy fats found in fish creates a more satisfying snack than options relying solely on protein content.

Skipjack tuna offers several practical advantages for health-conscious consumers:

• Sustainable Sourcing: Wild Planet works with fishermen who use pole-and-line methods, eliminating bycatch and protecting marine ecosystems.
  
• Wild-Caught Benefits: Studies suggest wild-caught fish may contain higher concentrations of beneficial omega-3s compared to farm-raised alternatives.
  
• Lower Mercury Content: According to the Washington State Department of Health, "larger, older fish accumulate more contaminants than smaller, younger fish," making skipjack tuna's smaller size a natural advantage.
  
• Convenient: Shelf-stable packaging requires no refrigeration until opened – perfect for busy lifestyles.
  

Here's how skipjack tuna compares to other popular protein sources:

• Greek yogurt (1 cup): 15-20g protein, requires refrigeration, often contains added sugars
• Cottage cheese (½ cup): 12-15g protein, perishable, higher sodium content
• Hard-boiled egg: 6g complete protein, portable but short shelf life
• Beef jerky (1 oz): 9-12g protein, often high in preservatives and sodium
• Wild Planet Skipjack Tuna (5 oz): 32g complete protein, omega-3s, shelf-stable, minimally processed

The difference is clear: skipjack tuna delivers more protein per serving with added omega-3 benefits and sustainable sourcing – all without the preservatives and artificial ingredients found in many alternatives.
