Sushi is fulfilling lunch "10 piece California roll" from publix, I you don't like fish they have veggie rolls too. I'm a equipment operator with long hrs sitting & not doing to much movement so the calories are few and I get the full feeling

    California rolls are about 250 to 350 calories. I do not micromanage my food, basically watch the salt and fats

    I can't eat sushi. The texture of the rice for some mysterious reason makes me gag but I wish I could eat it, I'm jealous. I have sushi envy lol

    I love sushi but i have to be careful. I can pack away a heap of it and then half an hour later I'm uncomfortably full, i think the rice swells up!

    I love sushi. But you have to be careful if you are watching sodium. Especially with the sauces. Soy sauce is extremely high in sodium.

    Go for the low sodium or none at all , haven't checked how much salt is in wasabi but you put enough on em you won't want soy sauce

    I don't believe there is added sodium in wasabi, it's mostly horseradish

    There is no such thing as "low sodium" soy sauce. There is "lower sodium", but it's still on the high sodium side.

    And why would you want to put tons of wasabi on it? You wouldn't taste the ingredients.

    Sushi is fine, and a good food. It's just not great for low sodium diets. Shrimp can be high, and so can cream cheese, as well as the other sauces or the batters used if you get a fried roll.

    575mg per tbsp for lower sodium, 920 for regular, both Kikkoman. That's a lot if you are on a 2000mg or less sodium diet. I don't know about eel sauce or the mayo based sauces.

    Any idea the average measure of tempura bits in an 8-piece roll? The sushi place I buy from makes a lot of non-standard varieties and I've got some spatial perception issues that make me not very good at eyeballing measurements. (I get that it varies, but a range would be nice.)

    I found this. 508 calories. http://www.sushifaq.com/sushi-health/calories-in-sushi/

    Right, that's shrimp tempura. I'm dealing with a sushi place that sprinkles tempura into a shiitake-avocado roll. Or one with mango, daikon, avocado, and spicy mayo. I have asked them to consider listing the nutritional information, but so far, I'm just getting polite smiles.

    With restaurant food, I always overestimate. You are talking of 100 calories plus or minus. In the scheme of things, you are sweating the small stuff.

    My wife works for the franchise company that makes the Publix sushi...she is like a floater and takes over the shops during transitions and things like that. Neither she nor I eat it...California rolls are ok though, but the rest of it...just bait as far as I am concerned.

    What kind of freaks me out is when places try to "westernise" sushi. Not kidding you, there was a place in the food court below my old office which had turkey, cranberry and cream cheese sushi rolls. W. T. F.

    When I eat sushi I need three rolls, salad, and soup. So I kind of stopped. I can pack away the calories. And one roll isn't worth it. I switched to sashimi and have been enjoying it well enough.

    I went to one sushi restaurant that had a roll for each state in the US. The Wyoming roll had bologna and american cheese. Horrible concept.

    Oh my god.

    Another reason I'm glad I live in NYC.

    Yep, I would be willing to bet that none of the fish served is sushi grade.
