Sushi Question

  • So...I had sushi for lunch and I'm trying not to go over on my points b/c it looks like I might not be able to work out (unexpected company coming over).

    I had 3 veggie rolls - 1 asparagus, 1 avocado and 1 cucumber. According to WW, 1 roll is 2 points, but they qualify it by saying 1 roll = 4 pieces.

    Um, I've always seen sushi come in 6 pieces per roll.

    So now I'm wondering okay, do I consider this 6 points or 9 points, and does it really matter...

    Advice?
  • I'd like to know too, I have a sushi dinner planned with a friend!
  • I googled and possibly answered my own question, but it depends on the restaurant and how they are cut.

    So I'm calling mine as 6 pieces per roll, because they actually were quite small, but thicker pieces would be considered 4 per roll.
  • wait, you had 3 rolls right? So it doesnt matter how many pieces theyre cut into? Im confused >.<
  • Sorry, I typed that as I thought it, so not very clear.

    I had 3 "rolls" as per the restaurant (cut into 6 pieces each, so a total of 18 pieces)

    But according to weight watchers 1 roll = 4 pieces of sushi (instead of 6) and that is 2 points.

    However, I get veggie rolls, not fishy rolls, and they are usually cut and rolled very thin, so I was arguing with the 4 pieces = 1 roll.

    So, I'm just saying my veggie rolls (6 pieces each) each are 2 points.
  • This made my head hurt! haha Im just kidding...but I think you're right with each roll being 2 points.

    Sushi sounds so yummy. I might have to get some!

    What's funny is it made mine hurt too..

    I really hate math.
  • me too >.< I think that you've got it right
  • made my head hurt too, reminds me why WW didn't work for me : )
  • Its worked for me, its just sushi is so ambiguous. And I refuse to believe that 3 tiny rolls of vegetarian sushi is the same point value as a 6 oz steak. Nuh-uh.

    Also, I skipped the steak tonight, it was frozen. Went with chicken breast and veggies instead.
  • although it is white rice, and they do put sugar in the sushi vinegar...but i have no idea what 6oz is is grams
  • If they're maki sushi (ie. small rolls with like only one item in each), then I'd say 2 points. Rolls (where the rice is on the outside and they are almost twice the diameter and stuffed with more than one vegetable/fish) would probably be 4 points for each.
    Lol confusing! My estimates are based on the amount of rice in the sushi, which is really where all the points are coming from if they're vegetarian.
  • Aneleh!!!

    They were tiny, with one thing in the middle, and the rice was on the inside of the seaweed.
