What causes the difference

The portion size is the same, but the ingredients and preparation differ.

Dressing: Sour cream → Mayonnaise 80%
  • Everything but the dressing is identical — tuna, celery, onion. The white spoonful decides the plate.
  • Full-fat mayonnaise at deli quantity is ~70% fat
  • A sour-cream binding keeps the same creamy texture at a fraction of the calories.
  • Canned tuna itself is lean — a protein salad's calories live almost entirely in what binds it (reference examples: 165 kcal/100 g classic mayo tuna, 275 for the mayo-heavy deli egg version).
