What comes in your mind when you see or hear “sushi”? Healthy, fresh, low-fat, low cholesterol, ideal diet food. True, at least for a traditional sushi recipe. But the American sushi recipe has added certain ingredients that made it more yummy – and less healthy. First off: original sushi recipes don’t have mayo or oil.
Here are the top unhealthy sushi versions:
Tempura rolls – breaded and deep fried. Can give you an additional 500 calories and 20 grams of fat.
Philadelphia rolls – definitely not Japanese. It has cream cheese – and take this: 2 tablespoons cream cheese = 10 grams of fat (6 grams saturated). What a bonus.
