We caution our readers that as with any hand-crafted food, a similar sushi item made by two different sushi chefs may have different proportions of ingredients, and therefore different values for calories, fat, carbohydrates, and protein. Restaurants may also add ingredients, such as mayonnaise, to some rolls which will increase their caloric values over our baseline data. However, the information in this section should give you a good approximation of the calorie and nutritional content of various sushi items in order to make an informed decision regarding the weight loss advantages of lean protein and sushi in general.

Please keep in mind that we at The Sushi FAQ are not nutritionists or dietitians. We have simply compiled data from official sources (e.g. the USDA) and data from restaurants and supermarkets in order to provide our readers with a single source of accurate numbers. By popular demand for a Weight Watchers PointsPlus list, we have added estimated Weight Watchers points for sushi items (usually rounded to the nearest half point) calculated from the nutritional values provided. Meshi agare!
