New Rules Of Raw Tuesday, January 5, 2010 Done right, sushi is a nutritional powerhouse. Done wrong, it can expand your waistline with empty calories. Use these tactics to stay on a health roll. 1 Request sesame seeds on your rolls. They'll add a punch of brain-boosting magnesium. Another healthy topping: masago caviar, a great source of Omega-3s. 2 Good sushi houses use only fresh fish to top off their rolls. Request these top picks: Alaska wild salmon, farmed rainbow trout, or Pacific halibut. All offer good doses of protein and Omega-3s. 3 Ask the sushi chef to make your rolls with real crabmeat, not surimi or krab (imitations that have less than half the protein and hardly any Omega-3s). It'll be more expensive, but healthier. Use the scale below to decide what to order next time. The choices are ranked from best to worst by nutritional bang for the calorie. One rule: Avoid anything fried (such as shrimp tempura). Labels: Nutrition posted by Author @ 8:00 AM   0 Comments: Post a Comment << Home
