"&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Sushi is one of my all-time favorite foods, and it just so happens to be one of the healthiest choices around! But there are definitely some diet don&amp;amp;#39;ts on sushi menus. I\u2019m &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;http://www.hungry-girl.com/?utm_source&amp;amp;#61;about.com&amp;amp;amp;utm_medium&amp;amp;#61;article&amp;amp;amp;utm_term&amp;amp;#61;DOs-and-DONTs-of-Sushi&amp;amp;amp;utm_campaign&amp;amp;#61;about.com&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;externalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Hungry Girl&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; Lisa Lillien, and I\u2019m here with advice on ordering smart when you go out for sushi.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;h3&amp;gt;Sushi Dos&amp;lt;/h3&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;These food options are a definite do:&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ul&amp;gt;&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Sashimi.&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;\u00A0It doesn\u2019t get much healthier than sashimi, which is simply raw fish sliced into thin pieces. Unlike nigiri (more on that below), it doesn\u2019t include any rice. You get all the protein and flavor of the fish, but none of the extra carbs and calories. Two of my favorite kinds of sashimi are salmon and tuna, both of which are great for burning fat\u00A0(like these &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;http://www.verywell.com/fat-burning-foods-for-your-diet-1087873&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;other fat-burning foods&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;).&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Miso soup.&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;\u00A0It\u2019s always a good idea to start a meal with broth-based soup; studies show this can actually prevent overeating. And miso is\u00A0perfect&amp;lt;em&amp;gt;\u2014&amp;lt;/em&amp;gt;the hot, savory soup is super low in calories and delicious.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Edamame.&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;\u00A0These tasty soybean pods are another great meal starter\u2014they\u2019re high in protein and so satisfying. Plus, shelling them takes some time, which will prevent you from eating too many too fast.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Japanese salads.&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;\u00A0Sushi restaurants often have several low-calorie starter salads on their menus. Look for a sunomono salad, which is mostly sliced cucumbers and rice vinegar. Another good option is oshitashi, a dish made from boiled spinach, sesame seeds, and a bit of sauce. Even your basic dinner salad with ginger dressing is a good choice\u2014just get the dressing on the side!&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Soy sauce.&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;\u00A0Flavorful and low in calories. What more could you want in a condiment? It is pretty salty, though; stick with the reduced-sodium version, if they have it.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Pickled ginger and wasabi.&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;\u00A0This is the pretty pink garnish and green stuff served with sushi.\u00A0Both are practically calorie-free, but\u00A0watch out: That wasabi packs some heat!&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;How you eat makes a difference, too.\u00A0&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ul&amp;gt;&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Ask for &amp;amp;#34;light rice&amp;amp;#34; or brown rice in your nigiri sushi rolls.&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;\u00A0Nigiri is what most people picture when they think of sushi: A nugget of rice topped with a thin slice of fish. If you order nigiri or sushi rolls, ask your server if they can go light on the rice\u2014it adds up, and this will save you calories and carbs. Or replace white rice with brown rice for extra fiber.&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Use chopsticks.&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;\u00A0Unless you\u2019re a pro with chopsticks, using \u2018em will slow down your consumption and probably result in your eating less overall. Too bad other cuisines aren&amp;amp;#39;t served with chopsticks. (I&amp;amp;#39;m looking at you, Italian food!)\u00A0\u00A0&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&amp;lt;h3&amp;gt;Sushi Don&amp;amp;#39;ts&amp;lt;/h3&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ul&amp;gt;&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Tempura.&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;\u00A0Tempura means something has been battered and fried. So even though a veggie-based dish like tempura veggies sounds light, it&amp;amp;#39;s not worth the calorie commitment. Also, watch for rolls with words like \u201Ccrunch\u201D or \u201Ccrispy\u201D\u2014that usually means there&amp;amp;#39;s tempura inside. By the way, if you can\u2019t shake the craving for deep-fried veggies, make &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;http://www.hungry-girl.com/weekly-recipes/healthy-junk-food-swap-recipes-crispy-zucchini-fries-clean-and-hungry-onion-rings?utm_source&amp;amp;#61;about.com&amp;amp;amp;utm_medium&amp;amp;#61;article&amp;amp;amp;utm_term&amp;amp;#61;DOs-and-DONTs-of-Sushi&amp;amp;amp;utm_campaign&amp;amp;#61;about.com#onion&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;externalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;3&amp;quot;&amp;gt;these healthy baked onion rings&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; at home!&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Creamy sauces.&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;\u00A0Sushi restaurants often cram mayonnaise, cream cheese, and other high-fat condiments into specialty rolls. Don\u2019t fall for it! Just because a roll also includes raw salmon and seaweed doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s good for you. If the menu doesn\u2019t list specifics, ask your server what\u2019s in each roll before ordering!&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&amp;lt;li&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Extra rice.&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;\u00A0If you\u2019re ordering nigiri or rolls, you really don\u2019t need a bowl of rice. It just adds calories and carbs to your meal. Stick to salads, edamame, and miso soup as your side dishes.\u00A0Speaking of rice\u2026 If you\u2019d rather make Asian food at home, here\u2019s a &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.verywell.com/how-to-make-rice-out-of-cauliflower-1087860&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;4&amp;quot;&amp;gt;recipe for cauliflower fried rice&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;!&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;em&amp;gt;For more tips &amp;lt;/em&amp;gt;&amp;lt;em&amp;gt;\u2019n&amp;lt;/em&amp;gt;&amp;lt;em&amp;gt; tricks, plus guilt-free recipes, food finds, and more,\u00A0&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;http://www.hungry-girl.com/subscribe?utm_source&amp;amp;#61;about.com&amp;amp;amp;utm_medium&amp;amp;#61;article&amp;amp;amp;utm_term&amp;amp;#61;DOs-and-DONTs-of-Sushi&amp;amp;amp;utm_campaign&amp;amp;#61;about.com&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;externalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;5&amp;quot;&amp;gt;sign up for free daily emails&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;\u00A0at\u00A0hungry-girl.com!\u00A0&amp;lt;/em&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
