or should it be avoided because of the rice?

    Sushi is an excellent choice. As long as it fits in with your macronutrient goals.

    Don't be afraid of rice. As refined carbs go, its one of the healthier ones.

    I personally think it's a healthy, well-balanced, high-protein, low-fat food that fits into my eating plan. That said, it's 40-100 calories per roll, so an order of California Roll, for example, can be 300-400 calories. It's hard for me to just eat one order of sushi, so I have to be careful, and eat it with something else fibery and filling, like seaweed salad.

    This.

    If it fits your macros, eat it.

    Heck yes.Although I use to order mostly nigiri, now I opt for about half nigiri and half sashimi to limit how much rice I'm eating. I love sushi.

    I love sushi... but have to admit it doesn't keep me going very long! Sometimes I have a smaller amount as a snack :o)

    Does anyone know if hibachi is a good choice? I love getting the grilled chicken/vegetable kind, they give a large portion of rice though
