I have recently discovered the wonders of sushi. Not by eating it for the first time, no no. But the local sushi restaurant that's a 5 minutes walk away from my home is incredibly affordable. For $10 including a tip I felt full for the rest of the day-- and I had the sushi for a very early dinner. I logged the set of 3 vegetables rolls I had (I got a vegetable roll combo,) and I was surprised at the low number of calories (I also did remember to log the 3 tablespoons of soy sauce I used.) I was thinking, 'wow! It's a combination of healthy (seaweed and vegetables) foods for me, and filler rice that makes me feel full.' For the same amount I would pay for a fast food burger (which I don't anymore,) I can pick up 8 pieces of my favorite avocado rolls.
But I want to know from the MFP community... what can you tell me about the health/weight loss benefits from sushi? What can you tell me about the downfalls? Keeping in mind that what I had was 3 different vegetable rolls, and I don't fancy any of the others that I know have extras such as meat/sauces/etc.
Also, what can you tell me about vegetable tempura? I love vegetable tempura, but figured at the time it was too obviously unhealthy for me, being deep friend vegetables, but a friend pointed out that tempura is different from other deep fried foods and really not that bad. Can you agree? Disagree?
Thanks guys!

Sushi: the rolls of rice and filled with fish etc aren't your dream diet food-loaded with cardbs, and because they are "finger food" very easy to over endulge with.
Sashim: the fish alone or even Nigiri sushi( fish over rice) are better ideas0 -
Sushi is great. Traditional japanese food is generally perfectly ballanced. The only thing is that the western style sushi may content mayo or avocado which has a bit more fat than you'd desire but still sushi is perfect
I can't help you with tempura but personaly I stay away from deep fried foods as a rule.0
