Low Carbers- Help!! Sushi ?

walkwithme1

They just talked about this on biggest loser lt night. I think they said like 8 pieces equals 6 slices of white bread. I would opt for something else if you are that worried about carbs.

Ask for extra cucumber and avacado and just make your own creation on your plate.

One meal only negatively impacts you if you over do it. Stop stressing and enjoy life.

I love sushi too, and it's not taboo, no matter which kind of diet you're on. You just have to be aware of the portion size you're eating, and which kind of sushi you're eating.

Things like nigiri and a spicy tuna roll will have fewer calories than anything fried, like a sushi that has shrimp tempura in it.

Just plug a few examples into MyFitnessPal.com before eating, so you know what you're getting into ahead of time. For the most part, you're OK if you eat just three pieces of a sushi roll, rather than the whole roll of six or eight pieces, especially if the restaurant also serves miso soup and salad with ginger dressing with your sushi!

Bottom line is that I still eat sushi, but just in moderation.

Good luck and happy dining :-)

Sashimi is the raw fish right? I like that but what about the rice underneath? Just skip it? or is it not that bad for you?

Sashimi is just raw fish but sometimes it comes with rice.

Just go with sashimi. Wasabi + soy sauce = YUMMO

EricMurano

since when did rice become unhealthy?

Just eat it & stick to your cal goals.

Low carbers, dude

Sashimi + edamame = AWESOME

Ginger salad is good too.

That sounds a bit odd to me. Unless the 8 pieces are enormous! I make my own sushi, and I have entered the ingredients very carefully, and I normally eat 2/3 of a roll (4 pieces) and that is about 28g of carbs. Two pieces of fairly average wholemeal toast bread is about 34g carb, so unless those are big old pieces of sushi, sounds a bit off.

However, I live in NZ, and I do remember rather large food portions in restaurants in the USA, so its possible that my pieces are only about 1/2 the size of your portions. I make mine a similar size to those in sushi bars here.

I get that people like to eat low-carb, but for me, eating my sushi regularly hasn't stopped me losing weight at a reasonable rate, and in answer to your question "It won't kill me...?" I don't think it will LOL.

I follow lower carbs also. Normally 40-80gm/day. Sorry wish I could give you ideas for dinner tonight.
I did a quick search and it looks like most rice sushi has between 7-10 gms per small piece.
I let myself have one meal every two weeks that I don't count carbs. Sometimes it's suchi, sometimes it's mexican. I've noticed if it's just one meal, and I continue my normal exercises then i don't hit a weight loss stall or gain.

Hope you get to enjoy your dinner out

If you going to go out for sushi - enjoy - just not often.

Agree! Why not make this your one bad meal for the week and enjoy.

I came on here looking for answers because I love sushi and have just been diagnosed diabetic. I can't have more than 60 carbs a meal. I use to eat 24 pieces in a sitting a d now I can only eat what 2! Just kill me now!
