Points-saving hacks
- Add filling ZeroPoint protein to your meal by ordering extra sashimi (fish without rice).
- Look for traditional sushi rolls with raw fish and veggies instead of those with higher-Points ingredients like cream cheese, mayo-based sauces, and tempura.
- Ask for sushi rolls "naruto style," which means wrapped in cucumber not rice, which saves Points or, in the case of rolls with only raw fish and veggies, makes them 0 Points.
- Imitation crab often found in California rolls isn’t a ZeroPoint food—sugar, starch, and oil are used to make it—so opt for a veggie roll or one with fish to trim Points.
- Love ramen? Go for ZeroPoint tofu or chicken breast and ask for half the noodles. Or try a hot pot—meat or seafood and veggies in broth without noodles.
