I like to go for sushi and I usually have crunchy roll or california roll - I would like to know if anyone has a calorie/fat count for items found on a sushi menu.  This is my first day on this program.  Thanks.

Try this website- http://www.sushifaq.com/sushi-calories.htm. Or try googling (or another search engine) with sushi and calories.  Or try www.calorieking.com  It has the calories in a lot of foods.

The web site indicates that an entire roll(6-8 pieces I think) is 255 calories and 7 grams of fat for the California roll.

I am a sushi-addict! I crave the stuff all the time. But I've noticed that, where as before I loved the rolls, they're getting to be too carb-heavy for me so I've switched to sashimi. I prefer sashimi over sushi rolls now.

These are great suggestions.  I'd also suggest that all sushi/sashimi lovers go easy on the dipping sauce because it's made from soy sauce and is very high in sodium.  Sodium tend to hold water, and that can mask a weight loss.
