    I like sushi, and see nothing bad about the name "sushi."

    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.

    I agree.

    My comment about mayo and sugar water rice is just for awareness. People think it's just fish and steamed rice and it's not.

    Anyway, I eat sushi now and then. I love it. But, I shy away from rolls. I tend to just get sashimi, and, of course, beer. But, since sushi is typically social, at least for me, it turns into a binge and I have more stuff than I should. The fried rolls are super tastey.

    I know why you are saying man ….that spicy may has a crap ton of calories …and if you get some other ones with all kinds of sauces on them they can definitely blow out your calorie count ….but a tuna avocado roll is really freaking good, and reasonable on the calorie count...

    Is my sushi good ^ ^ see pic above

    Or bad? BAD sushi?

    Su-****?

    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

    I'm pretty sure 2 sushi rolls means the entire roll, e.g. what exists before it gets cut up.:

    vs. what some other people consider as two piece of sushi:

    That's not 300 cals worth, is it?

    Not sure it has a bad name? Like many types of food, I think sushi can be "good" or "bad" for your goals depending on the day and what your goals are.

    I really enjoy sushi and for whatever reason can go overboard pretty easily -- so many tasty options that I end up ordering too much, even when I am ordering a few pieces at a time and eating slowly. I mostly prefer nigiri as opposed to rolls, but have a place where the chirashi is awesome. Sashimi is a failsafe if I am cal constricted that day. Beer alongside makes it more challenging when I haven't adequately planned for sushi that day! An additional plus is that most of my family are not sushi fans, so I can bring some home and not worry about stolen leftovers!

    There are way too many different kinds of sushi to put a blanket statement on it like it's either good for you or it's bad for you. Like anything else it depends what you order.

    If you want something a little different, you can always go with some Korean Kimbap. It's one of the many joys of South Korea (I live here) though there is huge calorie range with kimbap (some all veggie - some with fried pork, etc.)

    I love making my own sushi! It helps me keep my calorie/macros in check.

    I make brown rice, season it with Rice Wine Vinegar & lay it out on a sheet of nori. Stuff with fresh veggies/fish/tofu/tomago, roll it up, & I'm on my way to a delish meal! I serve it with homemade japanese cucumber salad, miso soup, & edamame. For a real treat I'll whip up peanut noodles too (it's all about moderation!).

    Making it at home lets me control the nutrition (sugar, sodium, fat from mayo & frying), vegetable based side dishes reduce my rice intake, & I eat it for lunch if I plan on eating a substantial amount of ricey rolls.

    I :heart: SUSHI!

    Japanese love mayo on things. Sushi in convenience stores, at all the million sushi stands, sushi bars in the basements and fifth floors of every department store, and basically everywhere except the high end places that specialize in one specific type of sushi will serve some sort of maki with mayo. Usually it is a tuna maki with mayo. I mean, come on. Has nobody heard of Kewpie Mayo?

    They put mayo on pizza. Trust me, mayo is everywhere in Japan. As are fried foods. Fried food is a way of life. Tonkatsu and tempura restaurants line every street. The only restaurants that outnumber tempura restaurants are noodle (ramen, soba, yakisoba, udon, etc.) shops. And don't get me started on takoyaki. They are fried balls of dough and octopus completely doused in mayo. If there is one country in this world that understands that mayo is to be loved and cherished and put on just about everything it is Japan.

    As for sushi being bad for you, like pretty much everything else out there, there are two basic ways sushi can be bad. 1) overindulgence and 2) food poisoning.

    Don't get sushi from a street vendor on a 100 degree day and don't eat until you have rice coming out of your eyeballs. It's that simple.

    So people have always told me that sushi is to be avoided on a regular basis if you care about controlling your weight.

    Right.

    Because Japan is littered with overweight people, and not size 00 cuties in short skirts and knee high socks.

    Can I therefore get some sushi love?

    I eat sushi all the time and lose weight. Moderation is good there (watch the tempura style stuff), but really you just compensate with more workouts or less eating somewhere else.

    Anyone that tells you otherwise is a dipstick.

    Here is a pretty good calorie counter for sushi.

    I absolutely love sashimi, and find that it fits very well into my calories. I do also really love spider rolls though. I have been known to get a dragon roll and pick it apart for just all the good yummy fish bits. My little mom & pop sushi place almost always has blue fin sashimi. It's expensive, but worth every penny... and it's about 8 ounces of amazing tuna goodness.

    Dangit... now I want sushi really really bad. :D

    hey does anyone have a good go to for wasabi at home the stuff I buy is never hot like in the restaurant...and I want to cry when eating sushi

    If you have Asian markets, you might try and see if they have the wasabi root that they grate it from. When I do sushi at home (which is very rare, but I do), I will go to Pacific Mercantile (a Japanese market here in downtown Denver) and get the fish and the root. There is also a special grater for it that I have, but they are fairly cheap. Most good Asian markets will stock it.

    If I'm cooking, I'll use the powder for marinades with the soy sauce and sesame oil.

    I love sushi but I really only eat the roll types. My favorite kind is a tempura one with some kind of yummy sauce. I'm perfectly aware it's not all that low calorie, but it is absolutely worth it to me. I only eat the one roll and am full and happy. Won't ever give it up!

    There is nothing "wrong" with sushi, it's just highly palatable, calorie dense and so hard to eat on a diet.

    When I used to go eat sushi, I'd eat 4 rolls. I'm not talking about those huge log things, whatever you call those, these are the little guys that are about 1.5 inches in diameter and about 6" long. I'd eat 4 of those for lunch. Usually get Futomaki, Spicy Tuna, Crunchy Shrimp, and a California roll.

    It's looking to me like sushi rolls are about 200-400 calories a piece. Let's say 300 calories. If I ate 4 of them like I want to do, that's 1200 calories - 71% of my daily allowance.

    So I suppose if you can be satisfied eating one roll sushi is fine. To me, that's a snack. I'd be done with it in about 3 minutes.
