    I have never heard it was unhealthy? Either way, I eat it all the time and love it.

    Preach. :love:

    Sushi is great, so is sashimi. I think like some have said, people are probably referring to things like; California rolls and tempura, which is NOT SUSHI!!!

    Most sushi is made poorly.

    All the rice is soaked In sugar water.

    The only healthy thing about sushi is sashimi. All the rest of it is what it is. I mean, it's not unhealthy, but it's also not what people think it is. It's not just steamed rice and fish. It's mayo, sugar in the rice, stuff like that.
    Sashimi is just pure raw fish though. Get that and a bowl of steamed rice and you're set.

    do you actually believe this?

    So the consensus is eat good sushi! I personally don't mind a cali roll but tend to prefer the simple raw fish variants. I guess a lot of it is people get carried away. I've seen people put away platters of Phili rolls and I just think 'damn, where do you put it?!' I say that not to judge but because I actually find sushi very satiating. I don't think i could ever devour a platter myself.

    You sound like a moderate eater! Are you here on MFP to count cals for a bulk?

    Sushi is a favourite of mine, I ask them to hold the mayo, get a seaweed salad and a miso soup and I stay within my cal goals easily, with a good lot of protein! I'm going to learn how to make it one of these days.

    Isn't it funny how wonderful food gets slated because ...overeating, someone trying to make money out of a book, etc

    I use MFP right now just to count my calories and make sure my diet is in check. I pay attention to my macros whilst trying to gain lean body mass! Believe me, constraint and food are two concepts which I took a long time to develop!

    I've never heard of Sushi places adding mayo to the rice! I don't eat the Americanised rolls usually so that might be why. Also miso soup is great. After last night I think I have a new sushi favorite though. Ika nigri. Dipped squid side in wasabi and soy is awesome!!!

    Sushi is the greatest food in the world. 'Nuff said.

    I would prefer to sprinkle broccoli shavings over my chocolate and turnip cheesecake and scoff one of those... nuff said.

    American sushi has deep fried stuff in it? Can't decide if that sounds nice or gross
    ^^ It's WONDERFUL. A nice tempura shrimp is heavenly. A good Philly roll with cream cheese is too!

    Great post. I think the term sushi means different things to different people. I love making my own nori rolls using my husband's home-smoked salmon or just tofu & vegies. They're very healthy!

    I love sushi and I too have heard that it's very high in calories and all that. They are talking about the specialty rolls... you know, the really yummy ones with the crunchies and mayo and all that haha.

    I eat sushi about once a week but I stick to the items like edamame, miso soup, seaweed salad and lotts and lotts of sashimi. I don't eat the sushi rice as that's where all the calories/sugars are. I will order a specialty roll but ask them to make it low carb (wrapped in cucumber instead of rice), and they are delightful, light and filling.

    I love sushi, if i want it, i make it fit. normally not an issue as it's most readilly available here in singly potion packs. there are sushi bars and restraunts but that involves me finding someone to eat there with as i don't want to go alone and the other half hates the stuff.

    I can have two sushi rolls for like 600 calories ….has not hindered my progress..

    I guess there are some not so great ones..like the fried ones or ones that contain spicy mayo….but if you are eating those and maintaining a deficit then it should not be an issue.

    It only gives itself a bad name for how fecking disgusting it is. :laugh:

    (Every time I say I don't like sushi, some yahoo always tries to say, "oh you just haven't tried GOOD sushi" Idiot, I've tried every type, even tasted $150/plate sushi from the swankiest sushi joint in town, it still made me want to drink bleach)

    ...But yes, the Americanized stuff is usually a lot more caloric.

    Sushi can apply to anything served over vinegared rice. Raw fish is sashimi.

    Makezushi is the type of sushi Westerners have come to equate with sushi. They are the California Rolls and such. They can have everything in them from fake Krab to cream cheese.

    Nigiri sushi (a piece of fish over rice) or sashimi are the more typical types of sushi that were served before it becam Americanized in the last 20 years or so. My personal prefereence is Nigiri, sashimi and the occasional hand roll (Temaki). Calories are manageble with these types of sushi.

    I was introduced to sushi in 1974 in Japan. I could eat it every day. Personally, I think once you add wasabi, anything tastes great.

    Can someone please tell me what are the sushi rolls you can have 2 of for 600 calories? Of what are they composed? And pictures would be good.. the ones I posted are probably 30 cals per 'roll' so I'm confused

    Also, when I say 'my' sushi, I refer to the picture I posted. I didn't make that sushi, its a pic of Marks & Spencers
