"A typical sushi roll contains 290 to 350 calories and has the carbohydrate equivalent of two-and-a-half to four slices of bread," Beller said. "So a California roll equals two sandwiches filled with crab sticks, a sliver of avocado and a tiny bit of veg."
Even though a mixed sushi box from Yo Sushi in the UK has about 755 calories, which is much more than a Big Mac and small fries from McDonald's, it is still a healthier option. For one it is low on saturated fat and high on omega 3 and protein.
