I also subscribe to "Eat this not that" newsletters - they've definitely shown me a trend of where the best and worst places to get a good meal are. (Red Lobster has some great dinner options, while the dinner choices at the Cheesecake Factory are HORRIFIC across the board.)

Another email subscription I have is to hungry-girl. Her newsletters show you fantastic recipe swap ideas that can help you to make your own lower calorie versions of popular fast food and sit-down options...
Great newletters. I'll subscribe to them as well. (PS - No wonder I liked the food at Cheesecake Factory so much)

Most people order those delicious rolls that are loaded with fried goodness and fatty mayo based sauces, but even if you choose something less indulgent, it still adds up to a lot of calories. A few pieces of fatty salmon and avocado on some sushi rice is a few hundred calories. I'm not sure who only eats 3-4 pieces, but I certainly don't! I can eat my body weight in sushi...

Here is a small snapshot for you of some basic sushi items (not the fancy schmancy rolls) - ....
My wife loves the avacado rolls. She is going to be disappointed to hear that. I've now come to the conclusion that if something tastes good, its probably not that good for your. I just signed up for an account with myfitnesspal recently. Thanks for the link JossFit.
