Sushi.......Carbs??

OK, obviously I know that sushi has carbs when it is prepared w/rice,
but...anyone know approximately how many carbs? Typically you get six
bite sized pieces which have some rice (but prob. not more than 1-2
teaspoons) rolled around the pieces. I realize that on induction, which
I may start in a day or two, it's probably NOT allowed, but I have to
admit, I've recently gotten a real taste for it, esp. the vegetarian
types (avocado rolls, cucumber rolls) and would like to be able to make
it an occasional treat after induction. (yes, I know the salt/sodium is
prob. pretty high).

Any ideas? Any sites give carb/nutrient info on sushi?? I have located
any just yet.

How about RICEFREE handrolls?

An average sushi roll portion has about 1/2 C of short grain white
rice in 6 pieces, which is about 25 g of carbs. Nigiri has about half
that for 2 pieces. My solution to this is to stick to sashimi, which
has fish only.

I can't answer your question, but rice, of course, is high in carbs.

My solution was to start eating sashimi....

Unfortunatly on this WOL/WOE, sushi is very hard to incorporate. I
substitute with sashimi also (sushi without the rice). That's as good
as it gets for me.

Hi Jumbles!
I am a sushi FREAK - I love it! And I have really missed it since starting
LC last October. Not surprisingly I was very excited yesterday when I came
across a non-rice sushi recipe in my local newspaper! Its a vege-variation
on the traditional rice version, and they looked really pretty. I havent
tried them yet, but I will buy the ingredients and give them a whirl
tonight, and if they're any good, I'll post the recipe tomorrow!
Have great day!
