![]() Ask for dressings on the side or avoid them all together.ĭon’t be tempted by tempura:Stay away from menu items billed as “tempura” or “crunchy,” as these mean the dishes are breaded and deep fried. ![]() Even creamy Japanese salad dressings can add significant calories to simple greens you’re eating. Each tablespoon of spicy mayo packs an additional 100 calories and 11 grams of fat into the roll, and possibly more for the tablespoon of cream cheese used in a Philadelphia roll. Tanya’s tip: Avoid the mayo, typically found in “spicy” versions of common rolls.And, you don't have to eat them raw - most Japanese restaurants offer a selection of broiled, grilled or steamed seafood. Opt for lean protein and healthy fat:Salmon, tuna and yellow tail (all staples at the sushi bar) are among the leanest proteins you can eat. Just ask for your roll to be prepared with “light rice” and, if available, request brown rice for a nutritional boost. Tanya’s Tip: Order "naruto." Have your roll wrapped in cucumber instead of rice and you’ll save a few hundred calories.And that’s before the fish, vegetables and any sauce has been added. A typical sushi roll is prepared with one cup of rice, which amounts to three servings of carbs and 240 calories. Make it a piece of tuna nigiri (with rice) and it’s about 61 calories. One piece of tuna sashimi (approximately 1 ounce of protein with no rice) has about 35 calories. Lighten up by skimping on rice:What’s sushi without rice? Sashimi - and ordering it will save you quite a lot in refined carbs and calories.
