Nutritional Info of Sushi?!

Don't they have to put all the ingredients and their caloric content on the label on the package like we have to do in Canada?

I wouldn't worry about the number of calories in sushi and sashimi because they aren't deep fried like so much of our nation's fast food.

For calories:
1 gram of fat = 9 calories
1 gram of protein or carbohydrate = 4 calories

So if there is 1 oz of lean fish = 28 grams of protein x 4 calories = 104 calories.
Fatty fish such as tuna or salmon would have more calories.
The rice is 104 calories for 1 oz. But the sushi rice has sugar and rice vinegar added to it which will up the caloric value.

Avocados and fish are good for you, so is seaweed. It is too bad that they don't have a nice brown sushi rice out there for the low and slow carbohydrate burn.

The main problem with sushi (the rice) and sashimi (the raw fish) is whether or not it has been kept really cold and fresh. If the place is busy that is a good sign.

I am a chef. I teach FoodSafe and I make sushi.

-Dragon roll: 84 calories, 3 grams of fat

-Veggie roll: 70 calories, 1 gram of fat

-Avocado roll: 40 calories, 2 grams of fat

-Spicy Tuna Roll: 75 calories, 2 grams of fat

-Shrimp Nigiri: 68 calories, 1 gram of fat

-Philly Rolls: 85 calories, 3 grams of fat

-Salmon Nigiri: 68 calories, 1 gram of fat

Sushi is very healthy as long as one controls the associated sodium intake: limit the soy sauce or use a lower sodium variety. Enjoy

Traditional Japanese style sushi is very healthy for you as it contains fresh fish and seaweed. Look for things like salmon, tuna, and avocado as these have the most health benefits. Done right, sushi is a nutritional powerhouse. The golden rule for health is to avoid anything fried. The top three health choices would be

1. Salmon roll
2. Avocado roll
3. Cucumber roll

I would avoid California roll as these can be quite high in fat.

None of them are really true sushi since they contain no raw fish but they are probably pretty healthy if they don't use too many processed things or sweetened things.
I would estimate each piece is less than 40 calories
