If anyone wonders why Americans are all so much larger today than they were in previous generations, this is why. Do you remember what your parents and grandparents used to eat for a typical lunch or dinner serving? They didn't eat one can of tuna per person.

One can is enough for two pretty lean sandwiches, or one solid sandwich and a tiny bit leftover for a lil snack later. But I like a lot of mayo and crunchy add-ins for bulk.

Tuna, relish, spices, a little celery and Mayo

No, I’m using a regular slice of natures own wheat bread.

I eat a whole can, but not on bread. Protein!

I use packaged tuna. One package is equal to one can.

In our house, one package of tuna supplies enough topping for two dog bowls of dry food (kibble).

I hope this helps.

LOL!! So just use a bigger can. Hilarious.

I agree OP I would use the same amount as you.

A can of tuna barely makes 2 sandwiches even on good old wonder bread LOL

I've always thought one slice of bread is the most ridiculous 'serving.' Who makes half a sandwich?

But, OP, I guess if you use the one serving for bread (one slice) then you can also use less tuna for your tuna sandwich.

I think I usually use two cans for 5 of us in our home. But I hear you, if you want a very filled sandwich, you need more.

Is it just me or does it take a whole can just to fill the bread? I just made tuna sandwiches and used 4 cans of tuna for 4 people. I put Mayo, relish, seasonings, and a little celery. How much tuna do you usually consider a serving?
