If you search 'salmon avocado roll brown rice' in the foods part of the website, you'll bring back all sorts of helpful results.

google is your friend. Ive found a wide variance in calories in sushi depending on where you get it. Maybe the restaurant has a web site that has its own stuff listed... some do0

Thanks for the help guys! Yes ive googled before i asked but i get such discrepancies. Would 242 calories 22.4g of fat, 52.5g carbs, 20g of protein seem like a pretty good estimate cuz thats what MFP has posted but its not with brown rice.0

Ask the restaurant for weights and ingredients, then do the logging.
You're welcome.-1 -

Unless you're ordering the sushi at Applebee's, please don't do that.
Etiquette at a traditional sushi restaurant is very important and I'm pretty sure asking for weights and ingredients of food is not on the list.
If you want to be that precise, perhaps you could learn to make your own sushi at home. It can be a very enjoyable and rewarding hobby.0 -

Yeah, i was going to feel kind of awkward doing so but thanks for your help.0 -
The most similar one i found was from whole foods logged in at 296 calories. Thank you!0 -
I usually just assume 300 per average roll. A little more if it's bigger or has tempura/mayo. A little less if it's maki and simple ingredients. You could actually also try making sushi at home once - mimic how your favourite looks and see how the calories turn out. Then add like... 10% for error/restaurant mods. I'm guessing you're not eating said sushi everyday, so I wouldn't worry too much about being +-50.0

No, it's fine. And really, who would go to Applebee's for sushi? lol.I always get the same thing when i go to a sushi place so i was wondering how many calories (and protein, carbs, fat) a salmon avocado roll has with brown rice. it's 6 pieces and is quite average in size. Thanks!

you have to balance, is precision in logging more important, or just enjoying the damn thing?
considering the wide variance in what a roll is, based on chef, region, ingredients. You can't really use the prebaked entries. Well, you can, but it will lack both precision and accuracy.
So that leaves two options:
1. Ask what it is.
2. Just log whatever.
I will say though, if someone is taking you to Applebees for sushi, run away. that's as bad as going to Olive Garden for pasta.

What's wrong with Olive Garden pasta? I love the stuff. Am I missing something?0 -
Sushi is a negative calorie food....0

They couldn't tell you anyway. Most sushi is prepared by hand by a very skilled itamae (sushi chef guy) and each roll is different by degrees.
The Applebee's comment was rhetorical, they obviously don't serve sushi.
If you want to order a healthier roll, avoid the tempura and "spicy" rolls, since these usually contain mayonnaise.
Also please invite me along because my wife hates sushi and I never get to go.0 -

292 seems awfully low honestly. I wouldn't log any roll under 300 honestly- it's just better to over estimate than under estimate.0 -
I'm planning on having some tonight. I just look online, including the MFP database, for similar recipe calories and then average them. I think it's impossible to find the actual calorie count, jmo.0

I got tired of asking for the weights so I just started bringing a food scale to the sushi places.0
-
Really too low (6 pieces only tho with just some salmon and avocado) the roll is not that large and i only have it with a bit of light soy sauce (15 cals for 1TB)
I dont get how to log calories!! ugh this is frustrating0 -

Wow good for you! That's serious commitment

Kudos to you tho!0 -

Haha sorry, probably not used to my sarcasm. It was a play on asking for the weights to the sushi chef.
If it's a chain place it might be in the database but I just suggest logging high and just enjoy it. Most of the more traditional ones aren't bad. ie... sashimi on top of rice with wasabi. When you get into the fried food, mayonnaise, and other odd Americanized versions, just stay away from them or limit them.0 -
honestly, it varies. When I made sushi at home (a bunch of friends, we made 200 sushis), we had a mix of tempura shrimp, lobster, salmon tartar, along with the usual veggies, etc and they came to about 27-30 calories per piece. I would think a normal piece in a restaurant would be about 35-40 at the most (ones with mayo and avocado anyway)0

A trained sushi chef won't tell you, it's trade secret. Also, it's one of those things, just enjoy it. Otherwise, you can make it at home, it's actually pretty easy. (Like chess is easy.)
@wilsoncl6 - their stuff is kinda disgusting. Inspid, over cooked, over priced...

Once you get more skilled at learning the weights of things, you can try to ballpark each ingredient separately, i.e. rice, type of fish, avocado, etc. Try that, and overestimate the calorie amount by 10-25% to correct for inaccuracies.0
