Sushi

[OPBundleSticks]

I'm going to a restaurant this weekend for all you can eat sushi. I will likely eat about 40 pieces



Can you guys give me an idea for about how many calories that is? Is there any way to figure it out because I'm not sure exactly what kind of sushi I'll be eating or what they offer. Is there an avg number for sushi at most restaurants?

LOL @the counting sushi calories that you don't roll yourself .. just enjoy and fúck calories

I'm just shooting for my overall calories to be at 500-1000 below my maintenance. Is there anyway to figure it out? I don't need to be particularly precise

40 rolls? you understand that 40 rolls means something like 240 pieces of sushi right?

40 pieces is still like 7 rolls but its definitely doable. Don't worry about that calories and get back to your diet the next day.

Pretty sure he means 40 individual "rolls" not 40 rolls before they're cut.

You know what I mean, 40 of those things that you pick up and eat with the chopsticks

[cyclist93]

they are on average mid 200 a roll, but taste great

Well, make that your only meal, skip on the sauces and fried rolls. That'll help

huh? I've eaten 16 pieces before and was still hungry as hell. How many pieces is in one roll?


I apologize for my ignorance but I'm a total newb with Sushi

that sounds fair



40 pieces should come out to about 1600-2000 calories and 100 grams of proteinz right?

Depends on the roll. Crab? Shrimp? Eel? Tuna?


See how hard it is to track? Its best to just enjoy the meal and forget calories

[OPBundleSticks]

Depends on the roll. Crab? Shrimp? Eel? Tuna?

Combination. I guess as long as I'm at least 500 calories below maintenance, I'll be happy



Pretty much all sushi is high in protein right?

[asianstyles]

Rolls or nigiri?

No idea, I know nothing about sushi

6 pieces per roll is normal however some places do 8 to a roll

[musikguy72]

Each piece? More like a quarter of that or less.

It would be one thing if you were eating nigiri, which is, a piece of raw fish on some rice. Thats pretty easy to calculate. But in the case of most american-fusion rolls, which are topped with fish, have tempura inside with avacado, cream cheese, sometimes fried entirely themselves, etc....its not gonna happen.

a roll not a piece a roll is about 6 pieces so ~43 cal a piece

[OPBundleSticks]

so basically I'm looking at somewhere around 1500-2000 calories for 40 pieces you guys?

Dude, one day isn't going to kill your progress.

Why not just enjoy yourself and eat?

Sushi restaurant eh? I can easily throw down 3000-4000 cals since I love those fusion type rolls.

you're awakening a monster. I've eaten 5-6,000 calories in 1 sitting at brazilian steakhouses before. I don't want to waste an entire week's effort


Besides, 40 rolls is still a ton. I'm gonna feel bad for asking the waitress to bring me like 8 different orders

Haha nice... are you a big fan of sashimi? Those would be safer in terms of keeping your cals in check.

And I'm assuming you're cutting?

[Holcster]

Dude, just stay away from the sauces that top a lot of rolls....a ton of them are mayonnaise based and that's what makes sushi unhealthy...also the fried rolls/tempura stuff which i dont like anyways. Otherwise just throw it down...fish and rice with some avocado, and maybe some veggies ...all good

[anonymous]

i'd ballpark 40 pieces at 2k cals

that's straight up nigri, fish on rice...no rolls, no avocado, no bells and whistles

but when i sushi, i dont count, it kills the fun but if you insist on counting the 2k for 40 pieces of nigri is a fair estimate

[PhiSig2298]

^ imagine that.. yet another person saying not to count

Mayo is unhealthy???

yep, I'm going to try everything at this place - and since I like all the soy sauce and what not, I'm probably gonna cut back to maybe 30-35 pieces, that should be plenty to satisfy me

looks like I just gotta avoid that shrimp tempura thing. Everything else is about 30-60 calories a piece

OP, how'd you get red? lol
