Calories in Sushi
This week’s featured food is full of protein, carbs and good fats: sushi! With the fish, vegetables, avocado and nori (seaweed wrap), sushi is healthy in terms of omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins and minerals. The rice does add extra calories, but is still a good source of carbs. (Rice has gotten such a bad rep, unfortunately.) You can order sashimi to reduce the calories.
But as with any healthy food, too much can still cause you to gain weight. So, overeating sushi is a no-no. Skip anything breaded or fried — goodbye, dragon eyes! — and watch out for anything with extra sauce, especially made of mayonnaise. Certain sauces can add on the calories. A light dipping in soya sauce is usually enough.

And she’s really TRULY SORRY ABOUT THAT. You see, she didn’t realize she was contributing to diet culture; she just wanted to help people feel better. But losing weight isn’t the way to do it. She’s on a mission to change all that with an anti-diet approach. So, pardon the dust on the floor as the website gets revamped.
