Calories in Sushi

by Suzanne Hiscock

This week’s featured food is full of protein, carbs and good fats: sushi! With the fish, vegetables, avocado and nori (seaweed wrap), sushi is healthy in terms of omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins and minerals. The rice does add extra calories, but is still a good source of carbs. (Rice has gotten such a bad rep, unfortunately.) You can order sashimi to reduce the calories.

But as with any healthy food, too much can still cause you to gain weight. So, overeating sushi is a no-no. Skip anything breaded or fried — goodbye, dragon eyes! — and watch out for anything with extra sauce, especially made of mayonnaise. Certain sauces can add on the calories. A light dipping in soya sauce is usually enough.
