Japanese vs Western Sushi — The Calorie Countdown
posted by John Spacey, January 19, 2014
Traditional Japanese sushi is low in calories and fat. It has minerals and vitamins. It's usually simple — with 3 or 4 ingredients. Often it's just fish and rice.Western sushi has a tendency to be larger and have more ingredients. It sometimes incorporates high fat ingredients such as tempura, tempura flakes, mayonnaise, cream cheese and avocado. The result is dramatically higher calories.Here's a comparison of the calories in Japanese sushi versus Western varieties.Salmon Nigiri (Japanese)
