Low Calorie Sushi Choices

  |     |   Apartment Living in Culver CIty

Sushi by its very definition is a low calorie meal, but so many of our favorites are both flavor and calorie packed and can be a poor choice.

Here are some tips for choosing sushi that is delicious and healthy, as well as a list of the top places to get sushi in Culver City.

Tips for Choosing Low Calorie Sushi Options

  • Spicy Rolls – most spicy sauces are made with mayonnaise and can add up to 100 calories. Instead of selecting the spicy version of your favorite roll select it without the spice and add a dab of wasabi for the kick you are looking for.
  • Unagi Sauce – this traditional Japanese finishing sauce is made with brewed soy sauce and sweet rice wine and can add an additional 60 calories to your favorite sushi.
  • Say No to the Crunch – it is delicious, but it packs on the calories. Crunchy rolls are either fried or coated in panko crumbs.
  • Choose nigiri sushi or sashimi – these delicious options have few calories. Nigiri is raw fish on rice and sashimi is just fish. These are good choices if you are watching your weight.
  • Select salmon and tuna or mackerel – these sushi selections are packed with rich omega-3s and if selected without extras are a great way to eat healthy and lean.
