Okay - I'm absolutely losing it.

I am trying to look up the nutritional information for a California Roll. So far what I have found is that the "number of pieces" can mean either the number of rolls AND the number of items that make up the roll (avacado, fake crab meat, rice, etc). So now I have no idea how to log this.

HELP!

    looked up california roll. There are 2 listed.
    california rolls (plural) is the whole roll.
    california roll is 1 piece.

    Hope that helps.
    That is how I understood it anyway.
    Good luck.

    BTW: Try humachi (yellow fin tuna) yum yum

    you could try building a ca roll (search for rice, avocado, etc) and see what that number is for comparison...

    Too funny! I had sushi Saturday night and was looking up the same thing on Sunday. What I found is a "roll" has (approx.) 6 pieces. A "roll" (6 pieces) = approx. 250-300 calories. Most other (single) sushi pieces = 40-60 calories (so I figure about 50 calories per piece). There is no 100% way of knowing the exact calorie count of sushi unless you make it yourself and measure/count every calorie. :happy:

    Apparently, it depends on with or without cream cheese, and/or oil. The numbers I needed were without. This is shown per each.

    Life shouldn't be this complicated :wink:
