    I just had sushi for lunch today! Here are the healthiest things I had and their cals. Hope this helps give you some ideas! I find that the rice in sushi is enough to fill me up without going overboard with cals- I just try not to eat too much of the bowl of rice that tends to come with it.

    Spicy Tuna Roll , 3 pieces 145 cals
    Miso Soup with tofu and seaweed, 8 oz 19 cals
    Dynamite Roll , 1 piece 46 cals
    Salmon - Sashimi (Corrected), 4 slices 82 cals

    If you do go with miso soup, make sure to drink a lot of water because it's soooo salty!

    Also, stay away from tempura rolls.

    You are correct about the rolls, they are densely packed with calories. Two choices; Sashimi (generally tuna with no rice) or order nigiri pieces meaning slice of fish,wasabi, and sticky rice. Try to consume as little rice as possible. Start with some miso soup and cucumber salad so you don't feel the need to be satiated just by the sushi.

    I usually get:
    Miso Soup (~ 60-80 cal)
    Avocado Maki (140 cal for 6 pieces)
    Salmon Sashimi (no rice; each piece is ~ 40 cal) topped with pickled ginger (15 cal)

    Actually, this was my lunch today :-)

    And.. if you want rice.. ask for brown rice. It turns into energy and has a lot less calories... enjoy!!

    Also avoid the spicy mayo.. Even though it may be mans best creation yet (Yes, even better than flight).

    I think that nigiri and sashimi are probably your best choices, with wasabi and pickled ginger of course! If you're having an appetizer, choose edamame or miso soup. Have a great time! Must say I'm very, very jeal. :)

    Anything with cream cheese, avocado or "spicy" in the title will have more calories (the "spicy" because it's usually spicy mayo) but if you stick with sashimi or regular sushi (vs maki/rolls) then those are your best bets. I typically try to save up calories early in the day when I know I'm going to have sushi because my hubby and I like getting a variety of rolls to split.
