There are more calories in sushi than you thought. Try these low-calorie sushi rolls for healthy options.
Veggie
170 calories, 5g fat per roll
Fresh and pickled vegetables serve up vitamins A, C, and E, while the seaweed wrap provides minerals like iodine, zinc, and calcium. For an extra dose of fiber,
swap out the white rice for brown.
Mackerel
232 calories, 2g fat per roll
Consider this white fish instead of your usual tuna, which might contain dangerously high levels of mercury. Mackerel is also rich in omega-3s and selenium, a mineral that may help protect against cancer.

Rainbow
330 calories, 8g fat per roll
Made with colorful fish wrapped around a vegetable roll, this favorite is worthy of the higher calorie count because of its nutritional heft. Pair one with a bowl of miso soup for a filling meal that's still under 425 calories.
Salmon Cucumber
231 calories, 4g fat per roll
This pick is high in heart-healthy omega-3 fats. Order it straight instead of spicy-just 1 tablespoon of chili-spiked mayonnaise tacks on an extra 99 calories and 11 grams of fat.
Shrimp
199 calories, 0g fat per roll
Skip the deep-fried tempura roll-which has more than 500 calories and 21 grams of fat-in favor of this healthier counterpart. Miss the crunch? Get it with cucumber or pickled radish; add a pinch of tempura flakes on the side.
