When it comes to low-calorie cuisine, it's difficult to compete with the Japanese, especially if you take the example of sushi. Sushi is not heavily roasted and not heavily covered with sauce, and most types of sushi do not contain added fat. In addition, sushi can be an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids thanks to the fish from which it is prepared.

The calories of Nigiri 

The most common type of sushi is nigiri: tubules of sticky rice covered with small fillets of fish or seafood. Depending on the type of fish, one piece of sushi nigiri ranges from 40 calories (squid, scallop) to 50 (salmon, yellowtail) or 65 calories (eel, sea urchin).

The calories of Maki 

Sushi maki is a roll of sticky rice, fish and nori - dried seaweed. Most, when preparing maki sushi, they lay the nori outside, but the Californian rolls are made laying it outside the rice. On average, one piece of maki-roll has 45 calories. Despite the fact that the avocado has a high-fat content, remember that this is a healthy monounsaturated fat, which is useful in losing weight.

Rolls of Tempura, California, Tuna roll and roll with salmon 

Some rolls are higher in calories than others. For example, tempura shrimp rolls contain about 500 calories per six pieces, because shrimps are fried. Therefore, roll tempura is more caloric than California rolls, rolls with tuna or with salmon.

The calories of Sashimi 

Sashimi is just raw fish, which is served sliced and without rice. Most types of sashimi contain between 30 and 40 calories per 1 ounce.

If you are concerned about the number of calories that you take, the most important strategy is to regulate the size of the portion. Sushi is easy to overeat mainly because it is easy to eat: no fork, no knife, no extra chewing.
