I love sushi just as much as the next girl. In fact, I could eat it everyday if I could afford it. The problem with sushi is that it has such a healthy stigma attached to it but there are many rolls and dishes that are super high in calories and saturated fat.

Navigating through a restaurant menu is often tough, but it's even harder when you're navigating through yummy food that you're not totally familiar with. WebMD has created an easy choose/avoid list for the next time you eat Thai, Indian and French. THAI: My personal take out favorite, but it's definitely tough to sort through the often extensive menus. Choose- Sauces: lemon grass, lime, curry, sweet and sour, basil, chili, fish sauce Stir-fried, sautéed, and braised dishes Thai salads Basil rolls Broth soups Any dish with lots of vegetables Bean thread noodles Seafood, tofu, poultry, lean meats "Satays" -- skewered meat Avoid- Dishes made with coconut or coconut milk Sauces with peanuts Fried foods, including fried spring rolls "Mee-krob" -- crispy noodles To see what to choose/avoid when eating Indian and French, read more INDIAN: Curry is the name of the game here, but there are also a lot of fried food land mines, so be careful. Choose- Basmati rice Legumes (chickpeas and lentils) Vegetable dishes Yogurt-based sauces Lean meats, poultry, and seafood Mulligatawny or lentil soup "Papad" -- baked lentil wafer Tikki, tandoori, or kebab preparations Avoid- "Ghee" -- clarified butter "Molee" -- coconut milk or cream Any kind of fried foods High-fat beef and lamb dishes Creamy curry sauce "Korma" -- cream sauce (Limit portions of coconut and nuts) FRENCH: French women could get fat if they stick to the foods on the avoid list. Choose- Broth-based soups Plain vegetables Vegetable salads with light vinegar-based dressing Wine or mustard sauces without cream Roasted or grilled lean meats, poultry, and fish Avoid- Cream soups Cream or cheese sauces: au gratin, hollandaise, béarnaise, béchamel Caesar salads or any with creamy dressings Anything fried or seasoned with breadcrumbs Pate, fatty meats, duck, and sausages
