Sushi can be a suitable choice on a diet.

Care to guess why?

Yup, sushi can be part of a weight loss diet because it’s typically eaten in very small portions, which can help control calorie intake. Further, most sushi rolls are relatively low in calories and the protein from the fish can help you feel full after eating so you’re not likely to eat again soon after. Also filling is the fiber from the rice, especially when you have the sushi made with brown or black rice, both of which have higher fiber content than white rice.

As for the rolls that aren’t as good a choice, that includes house and specialty rolls with fried ingredients or containing mayonnaise-type sauces or cream cheese. Those types of rolls tend to have more fat, sodium, and calories than California rolls, tuna rolls, salmon rolls, rainbow rolls, vegetable rolls, and other traditional selections.
