Considerations
- !Values vary widely by roll type - rolls with mayonnaise-based sauce, tempura or cream cheese can have up to twice the calories of simple rolls
- !Soy sauce adds significant sodium - use it sparingly
- !Sushi rice is sweetened and seasoned with vinegar, so it contains more sugar than plain cooked rice
- !The values in this profile are averages - check the exact recipe of the roll you ordered for a more precise estimate
FitAzi Tip
FitAzi recommends simple rolls with fish and vegetables (for example salmon or tuna with avocado and cucumber) instead of tempura or creamy-sauce rolls, for a more balanced and lower-calorie meal. Limit soy sauce and avoid fried rolls if your goal is weight loss.
