Easy on the Sushi

Posted by Fitz on

Sushi lovers may be surprised to learn that their “healthy” sushi meal could actually be packed with fat.

One nutritional expert says that a typical sushi roll contains 290 to 350 calories and has the carbohydrate equivalent of two-and-a-half to four slices of bread.

Since a sushi lunch usually contains two or three of these rolls, a typical meal adds up to 1,050 calories, more than a Big Mac and fries.

Sashimi — slices of raw or seared tuna or salmon — is a better option if you want to reduce the processed carbs and boost the protein, omega-3 fats, vitamins and minerals in your diet.
