Ditch the old way to do take out, say bye bye to processed burgers, fried chicken, and all those fatty options! Most sushi rolls are extremely low in calories and you dont need to eat a lot before feeling full and satisfied. Sushi comes prepared in 3 ways, with raw fish or cooked or "tempora" which basically means FRIED. Many prefer it because raw fish grosses them out, but dont be scared!!
I talk about moderation in many of my posts, and the same goes for sushi. Dont over do it, like any food, and you will get a number of health benefits. Fish, is very low in calorie, but caution yourself not to over do it because of higher sodium levels in some types of fish.
The benefits tho are great! Most rolls have veggies such as cucumber or carrots inside, which are a perfect filler and keeps rolls low calorie! The seaweed that your rolls are made of have detoxing component to it, and if you get your rolls with brown rice you are also increasing your fiber intake!
**BE BOLD - if you are a raw fish eater, think outside the sushi roll box and order Sashimi, when you eliminate the rice, you will find yourself having fish for less than 50 calories a piece, add some wasabi & pickled ginger and you are on your way to guilt free goodness.
Try and avoid rolls that are super fancy and/or labeled "spicy". Most of those rolls are smoothered with high fat sauces and mayonaise. DONT GET ME WRONG - I love spicy tuna variations, and I WILL induldge, just make sure you are not eating it with EVERY roll. *The picture I posted is eel and cucumber topped with avocado.
Dont forget to request or get your own low sodium soy sauce too!
:: Special shout out to my girl Manda who enjoyed this sushi with me! We also had a glass of Malbec with it. PERFECTO ::
