Sushi roll with cooked Fish is widely recognized as a very healthful food. High in protein and low in fat, countless types of fish are actually staples in many parts of the world. Even those fish that are higher in fat are still healthful and heart friendly, unlike many terrestrial meats that can be high in saturated fats.

Have you ever wondered how many calories there are in sushi? Thankfully sushi is not a particularly fattening food, and a low calorie meal is not out of the cards if you have a craving for sushi. While rice contains a fair amount of carbohydrates, sushi can be eaten without it (as sashimi) and in moderation, even a standard sushi item can be a healthful treat without breaking the calorie bank.
