Sushi
 

Anyone still having sushi? which ones are low in calories? I am off to google about them, but thought of asking in here too! ;)

I love the shrimp tempura, but I believe they are high in calories. California makki seems to be fine with the crab!

I don't eat sushi, but Hungry Girl loves it and has written about it a number of times, here are some links to help you make good choices: http://www.hungry-girl.com/askhg/ask....php?isid=1620 and http://www.hungry-girl.com/askhg/ask....php?isid=1415 .

And you are right, shrimp tempura is high in calories/fat...it is fried!

Thanks!!! I know about the hungry-girl website but didnt go thru that part!! Will check it out! :carrot:

I eat sashimi regularly -- just fish! (with low sodium soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi). Since it doesn't include rice, then it's low calorie, low fat, and excellent protein. yum!

I still eat it, I am just careful. I agree the Hungry Girl tips are super helpful.

I tend to go for sashimi over sushi; lucky for me, I've never really been a big rice eater... (made it kind of tough when I lived in Japan, though, so I learned to eat it willingly)

Sashimi? big no! not a big fun! will have to rely on the other advices!

I just can't give up the feel of biting through the seaweed into the rice and then into the goodies in the center. It's a total texture addiction for me. I have been getting brown rice sushi when I can. I actually get cravings for the texture of brown rice now too. The white stuff seems like paste and even basamiti rice seems plastic-y to me now. A little layer of brown rice under the seaweed though... uhuhuhuhuh... it's just HEAVEN for me.

MMMM I totally agree! I've taken to making it myself so I can control the ingredients. My kids love it too. The baby will munch away at the seaweed wrappers LOL. Brown rice is yum.

I still eat Sushi! That is one thing I will not give up! Just steer clear of any maki (rolls) or sushi with deep fried ingredients. I like the Salmon and Avocado rolls! Yum!

Oh, me too. People think I'm nuts.

Pssst. You can get brown basmati rice :)

I do the homemade sushi as well :) I usually replace the rice with beansprouts or some other filler. I can't give up sushi.

I've never thought of sushi as a "problem" food, but maybe it's because I always get veggie sushi? Carrots, avocado, cucumber, a small bit of rice, seaweed... it's one of the best choices I can make for lunch, usually only 200-300 calories. I do have to be careful about the sodium in the soy sauce, but that's the only thing I worry about with it. A to-go box of veggie sushi and a fruit salad, yum!

I limit myself to grocery store sushi just becuase they have the nutritional information on it. One of the chains near my house actually does a low calorie version of several of their rolls with twice the veggies and half the rice. You still get enough rice for the texture and its still tasty.

I tend to go hog wild with sushi. It is just so darn good! Lately I can order sashimi only and have maybe 2 or 3 pieces of hubbie's rolls. That way I can control myself and still have a wonderful meal.
