While the basic ingredients of this Japanese mainstay are healthy, Americanized add-ons can pack on the fat and calories.

To complete this How-To you will need:

Light rice
Sashimi
Low-sodium soy sauce

Step 1: Avoid fried items

Avoid fried rolls or anything battered. Steer clear of dumplings, tempura, and spider rolls.

Step 2: Pass up extras

Pass on ingredients in Americanized rolls, such as cream cheese, mayonnaise, and avocado, which pile on the fatty calories.

Step 3: Request less rice

Ask your sushi chef to go light on the rice in your rolls. Opt for sashimi, which are plain slices of raw fish.

Tip: The word sushi does not refer to raw fish, but rather to the entire roll of filling and rice.

Step 4: Avoid fad sushi

Avoid rolls made with unusual ingredients like duck or quail eggs. Although a traditional ingredient, eel is also higher in calories and fat than other fish.

Step 5: Pick condiments wisely

Pick your accompanying condiments wisely. Opt for low-sodium soy sauce and limit wasabi paste and pickled ginger, which are both high in sodium.

advocado oil is good btw it is an essential fatty acid maybe you need a few as you look a bit too thin :)

People worried about eating a fattening shushi, please, just shove a whopper down and wash it with a large coke.

Avocado is good for you you and helps you to lose fat asshole.

[njoinvisablegirl]

You need some serious help if you have to skimp even on sushi. Its so good for you! and avocado might be heavy on the fat, but it also has more protein than an egg. a vegans wet dream!

[agiantpanda]

So much said in this is incorrect

[77raymondt]

Avocado unhealthy? Dude, you need to check your facts.

[Bagelboy615]

Healthy or unhealthy, sushi's fucking amazing.

Avocado is good for you. This video is crazy. The thin strips in a california roll aren't going to destroy a diet, and IMO the pros outweigh the cons at that amount.
