Sushi Calories and Nutritional Information?

Have you ever wondered how many calories there are in sushi?

Thankfully sushi is not a particularly fattening food, and a low calorie meal is not out of the cards if you have a craving for sushi. While rice contains a fair amount of carbohydrates, sushi can be eaten without it (as sashimi) and in moderation, even a standard sushi item can be a healthful treat without breaking the calorie bank.

People do not often think about the relatively low amount of calories in seafood. We caution our viewers that as with any hand-crafted food, a similar sushi item made by two different sushi chefs may have different proportions of ingredients, and therefore different values for calories, fat, carbohydrates, and protein.

Restaurants with a preference for flavor over calorie watching may also add ingredients, such as mayonnaise to some rolls, which will increase their caloric values over our baseline data.
