Sushi?

I LOVE SUSHI!!!!!! In my opinion the Salmon Roll, Tuna Roll, and Yellow White Tail are the best in overall portions of calories....High in protein, good fats (mono & Poly) and with Salmon omega 3 acids, also they very low sodium because the rice is steamed and no additives other than rice, fish, and the plant they use to wrap it...obviously soy sauce will up the sodium but it is the BEST!!!!

I am a sushi junkie lol - i could and would eat it every day if i had it lol

salmon, crab and tuna rolls are delicious and i believe something you would really enjoy. you can get them with all kinds of different things like cucumber, cream cheese, carrots, avocado, you name it, they probably have a roll that has it. lol

I absolutely love sushi!~ A california roll has crab meat in it~ You should see if you can eat raw fish like salmon or tuna. I also love rolls with shrimp tempura (it's fried so it's probs not good for you...) in them. SO GOOD! But it all depends on what you like. :]

Simple rolls like tuna and salmon rolls tend to be lower calorie compared to exotic stuff like rainbow rolls. A good rule of thumb would be the more stuff they put in it, obviously the more calories they will have. Cali rolls aren't too bad. The other 3 I just mentioned are staples for me as well, but rainbow is pretty high-cal.. but it's so good!!

Soy sauce can be pretty salty, so try to limit the dipping. MFP app has a good number of roll types if you're trying to build a meal, so you could try and find a menu and search what you'd like to order and see if it fits into your diet.

Also, eat sushi SLOW.. I know it doesn't look like much so you might be tempted to dive in, but that rice has a way of expanding in your stomach after a while.. bloat...blah!

Tempura rolls are so good, but they're fried & not necessarily good for you... but they're so tasty. Shrimp tempura is seriously my weakness when it comes to sushi.

I'm so glad you posted this thread because I JUST asked a coworker about sushi & the nutritional values today. Like... an hour and a half ago, quite literally. I'm so glad you brought this up!

I'll have to try a spicy tuna roll next time since everyone seems to be talking about it, although my favorite is the american dream roll which has avacado, shrimp tempura (I KNOW! IT'S BAD - SHOOT ME), a little cream cheese, roe, rice, conch, & seaweed. SO so so tasty.

i usually get an eel and avocado roll with a cucumber or shiitake mushroom roll. nom. tuna and crunchy asparagus is also good. yellowtail rolls with coconut, mango or strawberries are usually tasty. i don't like raw salmon (but love it cooked with spicy mayo). also not a fan of anything tempera.

YES. Thank you for posting this.

You missed that text above the listing - there is some confusion with rolls - the nutritional info is for the whole roll. Those 6-8 pieces you're served are made at once in one big roll then sliced into the little pieces that you eat.

I love maki, or rolls. Tuna, salmon, eel - are are wonderful! As someone else said, the menus typically tell you what's in the roll.

If you're worried about calories, definitely avoid anything with tempura oh, someone already said that too, I think). Most of the spicy rolls do have cream cheese or something similar in them but some don't so just check what the menu says.

Also, if you see roe listed, that's the fish eggs. They're actually pretty good and have an interesting texture.

Nutritional value of fish in the US? Mercury!

my favourite is the dragon roll! (barbeque eel) mmmm, i could eat eel all day everyday ;D

Don't eat sushi from Chinese food places, it's not real sushi!! I know a lot of people that were turned off to sushi by eating nasty chinese buffet sushi.

I love all types of sushi & sashimi My favorites are fatty tuna and salmon, they taste almost buttery and have a really nice texture. If you're not ready for raw stuff, a good choice would be to stick with california rolls and other rolls that are similar (they have cooked crab but no raw fish), even if you want a little raw fish in a roll it might make you more confident since it's in a nice little package instead of a slab of fish :P They also have sushi pieces that are cooked--one of my husband's favorites is BBQ's Eel, really good!

OMG - I forgot to mention that- NEVER EVER HAVE *BUFFETT* SUSHI!!!!!! Not only have I had too many food poisoning cases where my clients ate at one and got miserably sick, Sushi is an art form- mass production is for chicken nuggets http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/10/04/mechanically-separated-meat-chicken-mcnugget-photo_n_749893.html

Definetly sit at the bar and watch them make it- not only is it cool, but when you see all fresh ingredients, you feel ever better about what you are eating. Rice, fresh fish, veggies- you can't go wrong. Unless it's fried ;-)

I made this mistake.... GROSS!
