Sushi

So thoughts on how healthy Sushi really is? I have seen it has alot of sodium

A lot of the sodium comes from the soy sauce the sushi rolls are dipped in.

Sushi can be low calorie - depending on what the ingredients are. The simpler rolls that contain fish, rice, and seaweed are generally lower calorie than a dynamite roll which contains deep fried shrimp in it.

Sashimi is just the fish so it is lower in calories.

Sodium isn't too much of a concern unless you have blood pressure problems or other issues that would cause you to monitor it. It may cause bloat/water retention, but that is only temporary and can be alleviated by increasing water consumption.

It doesn't get much healthier than just a piece of fish. Beyond that, it just depends on what you add.

Sushi is a pretty broad category.

I typically have salmon sashimi, shrimp nigiri and one specialty roll that I know doesn't have a crap ton of either sugar or salt.
Then I look at how much soy sauce I'm having, since that's loaded with sodium.
