Hmm thats a really good question, I eat spicy california rolls which I believe isn't good for you because of the crab. But lately I've been eating the avocado and cucumber rolls yummy! so I think its good for me!

I think it depends on the type of sushi.
Are you eating sashimi or rolls? mmmm, I could so go for a spicy tuna roll right now! I might have to ditch the lunch I brought and go grab some sushi!
I bet Ron would know the answer to your question... that man LIVES for sushi!![]()

I think it's all pretty good for you. I just looked up sushi in my Weight Watchers book and most kinds are only like, 2 points for 6 pieces.
Take that for what you will....but I think it's okay. lol![]()
ETA: I agree with jen about the soy.....retaining water = not okay. lol

Actually crabmeat is very low in fat and calories. It's the avocado that's high in fat (good fat) and has a lot of calories.

My uncle used to eat sushi and miso soup for lunch when he was on a diet and he lost a lot of weight (doing WW + lots of exercise).
I think it's on the healthy side but watch out for the salt.
I dont really like sushi - I just like sticky rice w/ ginger and soy sauce so I'm sure THAT isnt too healthy

it says:
Cone, 1 (2 points)
Inari, 1 (2 points)
Kappy Maki (cucumber roll) 4 medium pieces or 6 small pieces (2 points)
Maki (sliced raw fish over rice) 4 pieces (2 points)
Nori Maki (raw fish and rice rolled with seaweed) 4 medium or 6 small (2 points)
hope this helps
Sushi isn't bad for you unless you are getting something like the Philadephia roll, which has cream cheese or Fried tempura rolls. The amount of rice on the rolls or sushi pieces is minimal. If you need soy sauce, try asking for Low-Sodium, it's the salt content that retains water, but unless you are drowning the pieces in the soy, you don't have to worry about using it either. I'm on a diet and eat sushi at least once a week.

good to know, though sometimes I add 'crunch' tempora flakes to my rolls for that added crunch. Not that its the same amount as in a tempora dish - its still added calories I could do without![]()
