One regular can of chunk light tuna in water is 5 ounces, which is one serving after draining (slightly less than 4 ounces total). Granted I don't know what size can of tuna she's using or what type (5oz vs 12oz, albacore vs skipjack, oil vs water packed, etc.) but I'm willing to give her the benefit of the doubt in this instance. (Note: the USDA says healthy adults can safely eat 8-12 ounces of skipjack tuna a week without worrying about mercury - albacore amounts are somewhat less because they contain more mercury.)

In my opinion the bigger issue at hand is the "box of pasta" she ate with the four servings of canned tuna (not even going to touch on the ricotta or whatever else she added to it).
A box of pasta is generally 16 ounces/8 servings.
