Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Maki Sushi
Metabolic Effect: Maki sushi is rich in carbohydrates due to the rice it contains, providing quick energy. It also contains various vitamins and minerals thanks to components such as seaweed (nori) and fish. However, the sugar content in rice can rapidly raise blood sugar.
Consumption Recommendation: Instead of consuming maki sushi alone, consuming it with a salad or vegetables can help you create a more balanced meal. You can also control sodium intake by reducing the use of soy sauce.
Things to Consider: It is important to pay attention to portion control when consuming maki sushi, as even a few pieces of sushi can contain a high amount of carbohydrates. One serving of sushi may contain carbohydrates equivalent to about 5-6 slices of bread.
Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories from maki sushi, you may need to walk at a moderate pace for about 15-20 minutes. This is important for maintaining energy balance and achieving weight control.
