Shape's editorial guidelines Updated on September 13, 2022 Share Tweet Pin Email Trending Videos Pick these nutrient-rich, low-calorie options the next time you're in the mood for sushi. Your taste buds will thank you. (And, BTW, just because a food is higher in calories doesn't necessarily mean it's less healthy.) 01 of 06 Veggie Roll 170 calories, 5g fat per roll Fresh and pickled vegetables serve up vitamins A, C, and E, while the seaweed wrap provides minerals such as iodine, zinc, and calcium. For an extra dose of fiber, swap out the white rice for brown. 02 of 06 Mackarel Roll 232 calories, 2g fat per roll Consider this white fish instead of your usual tuna, which might contain dangerously high levels of mercury, according to the Food and Drug Administration. Mackerel is also rich in omega-3 fatty acids and selenium, a mineral that may help protect against cancer. Everything You Need to Know About Omega-3s and Omega-6s 03 of 06 Rainbow Roll 330 calories, 8g fat per roll Made with colorful fish wrapped around a vegetable roll, this favorite packs a nutritious punch. Pair one with a bowl of miso soup for a filling, flavorful meal. 04 of 06 Salmon Cucumber Roll 231 calories, 4g fat per roll This pick is high in heart-healthy omega-3 fats. Plus, cucumbers offer a ton of antioxidants and can help keep your digestion regular. Keep it healthy and homemade and learn how to make your own maki rolls. 05 of 06 Sashimi 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. 06 of 06 Shrimp Roll 199 calories, 0g fat per roll Skip the deep-fried tempura roll in favor of this healthier (but just as tasty) counterpart. If you miss the crunch of the tempura, get it with cucumber or pickled radish, then add a pinch of tempura flakes on the side. Was this page helpful? Thanks for your feedback! Tell us why!
