SUSHI 🍣 🍱
Do you love sushi but wonder how to order sushi when trying to lose weight?
Sushi (and Japanese cuisine in general) tends to wear a health halo meaning people consider it to be low calorie and healthy no matter what you order.
That’s definitely not true and like any cuisine, sushi restaurants offer many lower and higher calorie items, the key is knowing how to order sushi when trying to lose weight.
For starters, there are a few key terms;
Nigiri is a small piece of fish atop a finger-shaped cake of rice.
Maki is rice and fillings, fish, veggies, etc rolled up in nori or seaweed.
Sashimi is simple, raw fish.
How many calories in sushi rolls?
The most popular menu item for sushi newbies seems to be a California Roll made with imitation crab, cucumber, avocado and rice rolled in seaweed. Since this one is typically made “inside out” it can hold more rice- up to ONE CUP PER ROLL!

Calories in a California roll can vary widely depending on who makes it but it seems to average out around 250-300 calories per 6 piece roll.
Calories in Nigiri sushi:
Nigiri sushi averages around 40-65 calories per single piece depending on the type of fish. Whitefish, seabass and crab tend toward the lower end of the range with fattier fish like eel, mackerel and salmon trending higher.
Calories in Sashimi:
Sashimi is the winner from a calorie standpoint with each ounce of raw fish containing somewhere between 25-40 calories.
A Word From Onyx
Remember, eating healthy in any restaurant is about making smart choices. But it's also fun to experiment with new foods and flavors. So calories and nutrition won't always guide your decisions.
