GIRLS BITE OUT

Hungry Girl is here to help you make smart Sushi choices...


PORTION DISTORTION

Quite often sushi is served by the piece. That makes it easy to over-order.
If you want to save calories, carbs and/or points, order "light rice." To make
your meal more filling, bulk it up with an order of oshitashi (boiled spinach
with soy sauce).



MISO HUNGRY

Studies show that people who start their meals with healthy soup end up
eating fewer calories. Miso, with around just 50 calories per cup, certainly
falls into that category. Try it with clams, mushrooms or tofu. Yum!



RAW DEALS

Heads Up! Look out for the following words. They'll clue you in that you're
about to order something not so diet-friendly...

"Tempura" - Tempura is basically Japanese for "batter fried." Tempura = a
fatfest!

"Spider" - Spider rolls are usually greasy fried crab rolls. They sound good,
but they really pack in calories and fat.

"Dynamite" - In sushi-land, the word "dynamite" basically means, "baked in
a sea of gooey mayo." Skip it!

"Crunch" - Yet another cute & clever way of saying "fried & fatty."



ROCKIN' ROLLS!

Cucumber Roll - This crunchy, healthy delight packs in just 130 calories & no
fat!

Spicy Tuna Roll - If made with a small amount of mayo, one of these will
likely contain between 250 - 290 calories, and 5 - 10g of fat.

California Roll - Order without mayo, and this one will set you back about
275 - 300 calories, and have 5 - 10g of fat.



EXTRA, EXTRA!

What about those extras?

The Good: Wasabi, Soy Sauce, Seaweed, Ginger, Edamame

The Dangerous: Mayo, Cream Cheese, Various Oils



More Sushi Tips...

Save calories by asking your sushi chef to go easy on the rice.

Some sushi restaurants offer brown rice, which is better for you than white.
If you see it, got for it!

In need of another healthy sushi starter? Go for edamame. A 1/2 cup
serving contains 127 calories, 6g fat and 4g fiber (2 points).
