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 -

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

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!

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
