Have you ever wondered how many calories there are in sushi?

sushi et sante Have you ever wondered how many calories there are in sushi?
Thankfully sushi is not a particularly fattening food, and a low calorie meal is not out of the cards if you have a craving for sushi.
While rice contains a fair amount of carbohydrates, sushi can be eaten without it (as sashimi) and in moderation,
even a standard sushi item can be a healthful treat without breaking the calorie bank.
People do not often think about the relatively low amount of calories in seafood and in this section we highlight the calories
found in common sushi items for the consumer, however we will caution our readers that as with any hand-crafted food,
a similar sushi item made by two different sushi chefs (itamae) may have different proportions of ingredients,
and therefore different values for calories, fat, carbohydrates, and protein.
Restaurants with a preference for flavor over calorie watching may also add ingredients, such as mayonnaise to some rolls,
which will increase their caloric values over our baseline data.
However, the information in this section should give the consumer a good approximation of the calorie and nutrition content of various sushi items in order to make an informed decision.
Keep in mind that we at The Sushi FAQ are not nutritionists or dietitians, but we have pulled data from various government and other sources
(e.g. the USDA and publicly available data from restaurants and supermarkets) in order to provide information that we believe is accurate.
By popular demand, we have also begun to add Weight Watchers points (rounded to the nearest half point) calculated from the nutritional values provided.
We are making available three sections, the first for the most common sushi rolls, the second is just sashimi (sushi without the rice),
and the third section outlines other items one may find at a Japanese restaurant. We also include information to calculate what you will get with a standard nigiri sushi item.
If there is any information that we do not provide but you would like to inquire about, feel free to contact us and we will research it and add it to the list. Meshi agare!
