Last night was my first dining out experience since I started my new fitness program, and I was wondering how it would go...
I went to Sushi De Kanpai on the downtown plaza with Monica and her niece, Lani. When I eat sushi, I always go for the cooked rolls, but the cooked rolls so often contain tempura! Yum! I love tempura! But it's not the healthiest option...
I ended up having a green salad with ginger dressing, miso soup, and two rolls; a California roll and a Delaware roll. I think most people are familiar with the CA roll, but the DE roll contains shrimp, asparagus, kanpyo, and cucumber. Both are super healthy sushi choices. I felt really good about my meal!
However... I was really hungry when my sushi came, and Lani asked for a piece of one of my rolls. I actually had to resist the urge to say "no" to her! I was feeling very protective over my little low-cal meal! (Sorry about that, Lani!) Of course, I shared with her, but I had to overcome my moment of sushi selfishness! It's always better to share, but I was soooo hungry! (Be forewarned: a dieting woman is very protective over her morsels!)
Eating out can be a challenge when trying to lose weight, but it can definitely be done! Japanese is one of the best options for dining out and keeping the food choices healthy.

I do have to say sushi is a wonderful dinner option. However I have noticed they are starting to "American-ize" the rolls. There are hidden FAT BOMBS in sushi now-a-days so be careful. These bombs consist of fried bits put into the rolls to give it that fried flavor and crunch we as Americans learned to love the first moment our lips hit a chicken mc nugget. Also never hesitate to ask for low sodium sauce as they keep it in the back. Lastly watch out for the rolls with cream cheese, like Philadelphia and Boston roll. Other than that ENJOY. Beleive it or not Giant makes sushi "to go" out of brown rice. More sushi places should try that! And Tina I am with you on sharing....I only go out for Sushi when my son is NOT around. He takes it ALL!!!
