edited September 2024 in Food and Nutrition
I had about 8 pieces of sushi there are 8 in a roll(the place i get it from the pieces are small) :love:


how do i figure out the nutrition on this? :huh:

1. spicy salmon 3 pieces
2. spicy tuna 3 pieces
3. dragon roll 2 pieces

i mean the place isnt on the list and its definetly not as high nutrtion wise as some of the places that are listed :devil: ...i was thinking of breaking the sushi into parts (seaweed, tuna raw, rice, avocado) is that a good idea or is there a better way to do this? :bigsmile:


thanks :flowerforyou:

    Whenever I eat something that I'm not totally sure about the calorie count, I just google it and then take an average of all the different responses I find...like tonight I was looking for Jasmine rice, and there were a lot of different numbers in the database, so I googled "Jasmine rice calories" and got several hits...I looked at a few of them, and when I saw one of the numbers repeated 3 or 4 times, I just went with that...it may not be perfect, but it'll give you a good estimate without the headache of trying to figure out each little component...
