Sushi has exploded onto the high street, with everywhere from shopping centers to restaurants now serving it, and it’s easy to see why. Two pieces of tuna nigiri sushi is both packed with nutrients, including fibre, vitamins and fish, and the carbs from rice will keep you full too. And all for only 96 calories, so it makes the top spot on my list of snacks under 100 calories!
