For more than one reason, Sushi is a very healthy meal:

• Sushi contains nearly the same nutrients like other food, but considerably less fat.
• The high share of insatiated fatty acids in fish helps to prevent from strokes and heart attacks.
• Because of the rice the blood sugar level mounts less fast. The feeling of satiety stays longer.

Sushi is a low-calorie meal. First, the rice contains approximately 100 calories per 100 gram. The calories for a whole Sushi-roll vary depending on size and covering. One whole Kappa-Maki (cucumber-roll) contains approximately 100 calories, one piece of a California-roll (30 gram) about 35 - 40 calories. A typical small Sushi-meal with 8 different Nigiri and two pieces of a thin roll (e. g. Kappa-Maki, Tekka-Maki) contains about 450 calories.
