Sushi is a wonderful low fat meal option. Sushi Rice is virtually fat-free and if prepared without frying or adding mayo, is naturally a low calorie choice. Another plus is the way that the rice is served wrapped in nori and chopped into individual pieces ...this aids in portion control which can help in avoiding over eating.
Ok so now some Cons...both white and brown sushi rice are considerably high in carbohydrate. White sushi rice in particular is a high starch refined carb ....these are the carbs that have less fiber and are considered less healthy for you.
Now the GREAT News...you can have high protein Sushi with NO rice and I will bet you wont even miss it . My sushi is made with Egg whites. I have posted this meal before but I love it so I don't feel a bit bad for rerun blogging.
Simply scramble eggs and allow them to cool.
Lay your Nori, add Lettuce or Spinach, veggies, avocado, seafood, or whatever you love in your sushi. Roll it up. slice into bite size pieces and Enjoy.
One thing to note here is you WILL need a sharp serrated knife to slice this sushi
Another option is to forgo the slicing all together and eat them as protein sushi burrito YUM!
