Best Low-Calorie Sushi Rolls: 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.

Best Low-Calorie Sushi Rolls: Mackerel

mackerel sushi roll

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-3 fatty acids and selenium, a mineral that may help protect against cancer.

Best Low-Calorie Sushi Rolls: Rainbow

sushi rainbow roll

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.

Best Low-Calorie Sushi Rolls: 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. Keep it healthy and homemade and learn how to make your own maki rolls.

Best Low-Calorie Sushi Rolls: Sashimi

sashimi and chopsticks

33 calories, 1g fat per piece

Because it's served sans rice, one of these thin slices of raw fish contains fewer calories than sushi. Dab each with wasabi: The green horseradish paste has antimicrobial properties that may help fend off food poisoning.

Best Low-Calorie Sushi Rolls: Shrimp

shrimp sushi roll

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.
