Can I use canned tuna instead of fresh?

You absolutely can in a pinch, but fresh makes all the difference in texture and flavor! Canned tuna tends to be drier - if swapping, mix it with extra mayo and a splash of lemon juice to compensate. My rule? Budget allows = fresh tuna; tight week = good-quality canned in water (drained well!).

How do I make this gluten-free?

Easy peasy! Just swap regular soy sauce for tamari (it's naturally gluten-free and tastes nearly identical). Double check your mayo label too - some brands sneak in sneaky gluten ingredients

Is this tuna rice bowl keto-friendly?

Almost! Swap the rice for riced cauliflower (roast it first for better texture) and you've got a perfect low-carb version. The tuna and avocado keep it high-fat, and you can bump up the protein with extra tuna. Find my full keto tuna bowl adaptation on Pinterest !
