Tuna cakes [Bulkbites.com]

This protein rich tuna snack is made for bodybuilders as a can of tuna contains about 30 grams of protein. I have used tuna in brine water instead of tuna in oil as it is free of fat. When I eat tuna regularly I tend to get sick of it, that’s when I found this recipe with oatmeal coating which makes it healthier. Tuna along with proteins is also rich in omega-3 fatty acids. This snack supplies the required protein and fills the stomach too!
