I love sushi, but I'm honest with myself about it because it is NOT low cal for the amount I can eat. And I don't even eat the mayonnaise stuff. When i know I'm going out for sushi, I save 800-1,000 cals for it.0

I tend to find it easier to control my portion with sushi because each roll is already portioned out for you. Its harder when you get a bento box and oh man i dont even want to think about AYCE sushi

I'm lucky in the sense that there's no where around me at work that sells it. And a roll won't fill me up for dinner. So, when I do eat it, I go all out. I can down like 10 pieces and small roll.0 -
That brightened my morning. How cute!
This is really where I was going.JeffseekingV wrote: »... 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.
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...
but, but she liked it

I wonder, at 85, how well do the tastebuds work?

I prefer sashimi vs sushi as it's w/o the rice. Spicy tuna salad is great. Salmon roe with seaweed for those that like the popping sensation.0

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.
Very true.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.
I agree. It's rude to ask and even the way you eat sushi has to be precise, or the Sushi chef is going to give you a death stare.

I tend to never get full or satisfied if there's no rice, i try to make it a bit healthier by substituting brown rice (glad at least the sushi place i go can do that, they even substitute quinoa but im too scared to try it)0 -
I am starting to hate this thread. That picture. OMG.0

To log sushi, got to your food log in and enter sushi. MFP will bring up a number of choices you can browse through to make you choice from.0

well, that does it. Thanks jerks.
I'm going to get some sushi for lunch. None of that hideous tamago or unagi though.

There's a few I just *can't* do.
Tamago, unagi, saba, uni.0 -
Sushi is ridiculously high in calories. It's a good example of why "good food/bad food" diets don't work. Before MFP I would have thought of sushi as a "good food". It feels virtuous. It's low-fat; it's fish, rice, and seaweed. The problem is: low protein, high carb. For the amount of sushi I'd normally eat at a sitting, I could have a bacon cheeseburger or two slices of pizza instead.0

dammit... bacon cheeseburger.
I'm apparently hungry, because I'm as wishy washy as a brony doing pony play.0 -

It is good food. Because it's delicious. I'd rather have the sushi than a bacon cheeseburger or pizza.0 -

I think this greatly differs based on what you order. Sushi can be healthy if you order the right things and keep your portions in check.
