Question

Was served with a soy base sauce

Answer

With a soy-based sauce, the calories rise only modestly unless it was sweetened or oil-heavy—but the sodium increases considerably.

Updated estimate

Assuming roughly 2–3 tablespoons of sauce:

  • Plain soy-based sauce: add 20–50 calories
  • Sweetened teriyaki-style glaze: add 60–150 calories
  • Additional sodium: approximately 1,200–2,500mg

Revised meal total: 720–1,100 calories

  • Protein: 60–75g
  • Carbohydrates: 80–115g
  • Fat: 15–35g
  • Sodium: likely 1,800–3,500mg

Healthiness: about 7.5/10. The tuna, rice and beans still make a nutritious, protein-rich plate. Sodium is now the main weakness; calories are driven more by the rice and cooking oil than by the soy sauce.

For a healthier version, ask for the sauce on the side and use one tablespoon, or request reduced-sodium soy sauce. A citrusy dessert—key lime, mango sorbet or fresh berries—would still pair best; sorbet or berries would keep the full meal lighter.

👉 Was the sauce thin and salty like soy sauce, or thick and sweet like teriyaki?
