    Honestly when it comes to Sushi, I absolutely pay no attention to calories LOL--i just try to eat no more than 4. Love my sushi and I like pretty much all of them :)

    If you are looking for something high protein, you can ask to try a sample of the squid salad. It sounds terrible but I saw it on MFP's database and thought I'd ask the restaurant about it. I LOVED it.

    Also, the last time I went for sushi, I found a comparable "base roll" ( eel and cucumber) and added 1/4 avocado to match what I was actually eating. Another time I got the asparagus tempura roll and self added the salmon sashimi and sauce (sushi sauce) into the MFP database. I was very surprised at how many cals a simple 8 piece roll had. I love sushi and have to really hold back!

    Unfortunatley there isn't much for "LOW CAL" in sushi... Sashimi is a good option IF you like it (this is the pieces of raw fish with no rice).

    There is not much way to avoid calories (mostly due to the rice) but you can still make "healthier" choices. Like avoiding anything battered (i.e. Tempura) and as much as I LOVE crab and shrimp, they have much higher calories and natural sugars compared to Salmon or Tuna. Avacado is always a good choice just simply based on the health benefits of avacado.

    My absolute favorite is Unagi (cooked eel) but it is HIGH in calories so I try to avoid sushi unless it is a "treat" day lol

    When I'm eating sushi, counting calories is the farthest thing from my mind. It's one of my guilty "once in a while" pleasures.

    True that.

    YES! I get the spider roll!!!!

    None - seafood's gross. That being said, I wish I liked it and try it all the time hoping one day I will!

    I don't like sushi either but you should try a veggie roll or a surf and turf roll (usually seared beef and shrimp), and even ask for it with a soy wrapper instead of seaweed. I've had them and they are pretty good. It's a good way to go out with friends even when they go to a sushi place!

    I love sushi. If you stay away from the fried stuff and the saucy stuff you'll do fine. I like yellowtail scallion rolls, scallop rolls, tuna rolls and I LOVE a good rainbow roll. I also like the pieces, mainly salmon and tuna.

    Fill up on some miso soup beforehand and you won't eat as many rolls! And use low sodium soy.

    I get one tuna roll (6 peices) for 184 calories and one yellowtail roll (6 pieces) for 216 calories. I'll also get a house salad with the ginger dressing. Total calories for the meal is 495 calores. Had it last night, in fact! It feels like a real treat, and its under 500 calories, filling and very low on sodium!

    I also like the salmon roll, 6 pieces is 130 calories. The yellowtail is my favorite...so flavorful!!

    All three of these rolls have the seafood, white rice and the seaweed wrapping only.

    Yum!!! If you like the raw stuff, and you want to be on the better side some options are the nigiri (fish on rice), sashimi (just fish) and have some rice on the side. Miso soup is low cal. And edamame is low cal, high fibre. I say, go and enjoy. Limit the amount of tempura/fried, and potenitally you could ask them not to use any mayo in the rolls, as that is quite common.

    Enjoy!! Sushi rocks!!! :D

    When I go out for sushi I opt for sashimi.

    Sashimi is just raw fish, so you don't have to worry about rice, cream cheese, sauces, all the stuff that takes sushi from healthy to not so much.

    Salmon, Yellowtail, Mackeral are some of my favs. Mmmm sashimi...

    Start with miso, then unagi, usually a californian or a smoked salmon roll, tempura, and lots of green tea.

    I haven't gone for sushi in a while. Might roll my own tonight. Mmmmmm ran out of miso paste, though. May have to wait so I can have the full experience.

    I usually get chirashi - it's sashimi on top of a bowl of sushi rice.

    It's pretty easy to estimate things from there. And I usually only eat 1/3-1/2 of the rice.

    Thanks for naming this - will have to look for it next time I go for sushi :)

    All rolls and handrolls wrapped in cucumber (no rice) - yellowtail and scallion handroll, spicy tuna, and amazing specialty roll that has tuna, salmon and egg cake - amaz with the cucumber wrap. Sometimes sprinkled with a little crunch if I'm feeling like indulging (plus I figure the calories cut out from no rice will be made up for with it).

    Just don't get anything with a sauce or panko crumbs or something that's been fried- it should say in the description. For example the eel rolls where I go have a sweet, sticky, teriyaki-ish sauce that's gotta be unhealthy (between the salt and the sugar, yikes..).

    I'd also avoid the imitation crab stuff cause that's just weird and processed and salty...

    AND use low sodium soy sauce if it's availble. It's still ridiculously salty, but at least it's trying :)


    ENJOY!!! I love sushi!

    Spicy Tuna and Spicy Salmon Roll=Yum
    290 calories for 6 rolls of Spicy Tuna. You can have that with like a Miso Soup or a Seaweed Salad. Delicious.

    Spicy Tuna roll for sure, and depending on what my calories look like for the day, a Philly roll.
