Vegetarian Sushi Roll - How Many Calories?

Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Vegetarian Sushi Roll

• Metabolic Effect: Vegetarian sushi roll has a high glycemic index due to the rice it contains, which can quickly raise and lower blood sugar. Although the vegetables it contains provide fiber, this may not be enough to balance the effect.
• Consumption Recommendation: Consuming it with foods containing protein and fiber helps to balance blood sugar. For example, it can be consumed with a bowl of yogurt or salad. Also, choosing sushi made from whole grain rice may be a healthier option.
• Things to Consider: One serving of vegetarian sushi roll contains approximately the equivalent carbohydrate of 1 slice of bread. Especially people with diabetes should pay attention to portion control. In addition, sushi sauces may have high sugar content, so they should be used in small amounts.
• Exercise Equivalent: To burn this calorie, you need to walk for about 20 minutes. Running for 10 minutes as a more intense activity can also provide the same effect.
