Sushi Nutrition Facts
Sushi Nutritional InformationSushi nutricion fact
Nutritional breakdown of sushi. Explains the benefits of this well balanced diet and how to improve it.
Sushi is a balanced diet. It is composed of Lean protein, carbohydrates, negligible in saturated fat, and loaded with unsaturated fat.

Depending on the chef, the rice portion of the sushi can vary from 20-30 calories or 3~5 grams of carbohydrate

15 grams of sugar (60cal) and 10 grams of salt are used to make 100ml of sushi rice vinegar. A less than a third, or 30ml of this is used for a whole cup of rice. A cup of rice will yield about 25 pieces of sushi. One nigiri sushi will contain no more than 0.7 cal from the sugar, or 0.2 grams of carbohydrates. This will also equate to 0.47 grams of sodium or 2% of the daily recommended daily value. 

While theprotein and fat content may vary with the type of main ingredients used, here are some examples. (The weight of the fish used in an average nigiri sushi is about 5 grams at the most).

Tuna  7 cal 1.1 grams Protein  0.1grams Unsaturated Fat 0.06 grams Saturated Fat
Salmon 7 cal 1 gram Protein 0.4 grams Unsaturated Fat 0.1 grams Saturated Fat

Halibut 4 cal 1 gram Protein 0.1 grams Unsaturated Fat0.02 grams Saturated Fat

A rough caloric average of a single nigiri sushi is about 35 calories, 1 gram of protein, 4 grams of carbohydrates, 0.3 grams of unsaturated fat, 0.03 grams of unsaturated fat, and 0.05 grams of sodium. Multiply that by 10 and that will be an average sushi meal. The only thing that is lacking in sushi is fiber. Appetizers that are mostly prepared with vegetables arerecommended.

Health Benefits of Sushi
Sushi's health benifits mainly come from fish oil and vinegar, If you can limit your soy sauce use, and limit your carb intakes, you are eating very  healthy.
For a person with normal health, sushi has many health benefits. All dishes (excluding eel, and some fusion style sushi) are low in saturated fat and high in protein. There may be a slight load incarbohydrates in thick sushi rolls, but it is negligible for nigiri sushi since they are small in amount.

High content of fish oil is the main health factor which promotes a healthy cardiovascular system. The hikarimono, or shiny fishes (mackerel, Spanish mackerel, sardine, Pacific Saury) contain the highest amounts of EPA and DHA omega3 fats. (Ironically they are the least expensive fishes)....
