is sushi a good dinner?

[xsnalex]

anyone here eat sushi?

Is it bad to have on a cut with some veggies or brown rice?

I eat salmon or tuna with avacado's.

I know it's a good fat, but would that still be acceptable or should it be tossed on a cut?

[KryptoKnight]

Welcome to the forum, I see this is your first post so we'll go easy here

YES WHAT YOU'RE EATING IS GREAT FOR YOU AND GREAT ON A CUT, JUST DON'T EAT YOUR BODYWEIGHT IN IT!!

done

Seriously though, take a minute to think about it. You're eating fish, good for you; veggies, good for you; brown rice, good for you (even white rice is fine). And yes avocados are good for you, yet dense but thee really isn't that much of it in sushi rolls.

what you have described sir is a superiorly healthy meal so what's the problem? No i cannot help you from not overeating

[xsnalex]

thank you for the welcome and thanks for the prompt reply.

I figured it was all good, but this is my first trying to eat totally clean i'm still getting use to what has hidden pro's and cons ya know?

And i'll ussually get 2 rolls which is about ten pieces when i dont have the veggies or rice and one roll if i do.

I dont know if that's to much, doesn't seem like a lot though.

Thanks again, hope to hear back

I really don't know the exact cals to each roll of sushi but assuming there isn't mayo in the roll I can't imagine the cals would be high at all.

So yeah, 10 rolls should be perfectly fine.

[xsnalex]

2 rolls 10 pieces total
not 10 rolls = p

but yea no mayo, i dont use the soy sauce either.

Just straight up how it comes.

[Knux]

sounds delicious. I'm going to have to get sushi sometime soon. Repped for reminding me of delicious raw fish

[TMaG82]

Sushi's a pretty good meal, I have it every once in a while, but the biggest thing to remember is to watch the soy sauce. I see a ton of people eating sushi thinking it's good for them only to watch them drench it in soy sauce.

[BuckK9]

I used to eat all the time when I was on a cut. It is filling and good for you. Gonna go get me some when I get back from Iraq. Now I am hungry.

[jocnyhc]

A great sushi place opened up a few blocks away from me. The wallet is taking a beating but its well worth it, I love me some sushi lol

[Joezilla]

soooo hungrrryyyy nowwwwwwwwww

damn it want sushi.

[dubbin]

sushi is fine but IS mostly rice. I would looke for an additionnal protein source to combine with the sushi.

Just try nigiri or sashimi... nigiri is a piece of fish layed over rice, and sashimi is just the raw fish.

Sushi is great for you, although I do drench it in soy sauce I'm afraid.

Soy sauce is one of those vices that I refuse to give up, regardless of the fact that it'll probably give me a heart attack

If you have a Whole Foods near you they're pushing this new Multi-Grain sushi. At least at the one that I shop at, it tastes a little bit different then the brown rice sushi that I usually get there and is like $.50 more expensive on an already expensive item. I think it was like $7.50 if I'm not mistaken.

Gotta love Whole Foods sushi... There's at least one place in DC I recently read about that is changing the rice in the rolls to cucumber (or was it seaweed?) Either way, an even better way to cut the carbs!

[TheNewestGuy]

Sushi is ok, but way better if you stick with the sashimi (just fish, sometimes fish with rice).

[Mike786]

I get all you can eat sushi by my house, its AMAZING

[Paragod]

sushi is hard to get where i live, so i really need to work on making it myself..but even the ingredients are hard to get.. sucky

[RnR]

I am a low carb fan so i love to get a big sashimi plate (16-18 pieces), a bowl of miso(don't eat the tofu), and bowl of salad with ginger dressing...yummy

I don't care about sodium, but i do use low sodium soy

when i do have my carb meal i'll just add a bowl of rice and 1 or 2 inexpensive rolls

Has to be cucumbers, as sushi is wrapped in seaweed.

love sushi and sashimi

think I might hit that up tonight.

Can't believe people think it's disgusting that I eat it

[shanedidwhat]

I agree with him. It is filling but look for more protien. As a Califorian living in Japan, I have to say that the diet is low in protien here except for young kids who eat fast food all the time(McD's, Wendy's etc.) Middle age and older people stick to the more traditional diet. Most of the time an avg. japanese person will have 150-300g of meat a week/2 weeks. And many fattys here too from eating to much rice. Careful bout that. But overall, I think sushi is healthy as is sashimi. I can recommend some good bb japanese recipes I made if you want. -->

Power Yaki Onigiri(bbq rice ball)
200g Brown Rice
100g Meat(chicken breast is good)
1 Tbs of soy sauce(brushed on the outside), 1 Tbs of ss cooked with the chicken
- make two halves of a ball, make a hole in the middle and put the chicken there. Close the chicken up in a ball.
- bbq the outside in a pan and get it crunchy on the outside. very good.

Sushi is actually really easy to make yourself, as long as you buy the right stuff to make it with and a decent knife (doesn't actually need to be a sushi knife, just a good sharp one) then you'll save yourself a ton of money, and you can decide how much of any one ingredient you put in. You can decide to have brown rice, lowe the amount a little, and put more tuna in for example, and have it with light soy sauce. Lovely and v. healthy =)

[BB_Surf]

Try and skip out on any rolls that start with SPICY, such as SPICY TUNA. Those are mixed with mayo.

I always get Salmon with Avocado Rolls, made with brown rice.
