Sushi tonight, what to get?
We are going out for sushi tonight, and I was thinking of getting a rainbow roll and a spicy tuna roll.
1. How many calories do you think these 2 rolls are?
2. If my total goal is 1500 calories a day, do you think this is too much for dinner?
I've already calculated the calories but I'd like confirmation.
Thanks!

Re: Sushi tonight, what to get?
The spicy mayonaisse has a lot of calories, and it's hard to know how much they put in. If you know you portioned the calories for it then go for it! And if you haven't, I say go for it anyway, it won't make or break you.
I don't think it's too much at all.

Re: Sushi tonight, what to get?
My estimate was 300 for the spicy tuna and 500 for the rainbow roll. That is 800 for dinner. I don't know if that is too much. I will probably be eating not too late in the evening though.
ETA: I can definitely make it so I have 1500 calories total. I've had 345 between breakfast and my post run snack. That leaves 355 for lunch, which is fine since I'm going to have a spinach salad and a slice of bread.

Whatever you get ask for brown rice instead of the white. Enjoy!

Re: Sushi tonight, what to get?
If you have the calories go for it. If you want to be able to eat a little more you could swap out one of the rolls for sashimi. I looked up the spicy tuna roll on a few different sites and the calories varied from 290-461 depending on preparation and the amount of spicy mayo used...just some thing to keep in mind.

I was thinking to be on the safe side i would get a rainbow roll and a california roll to avoid the spicy mayo.

You could go just a plain tuna roll and skip the "spicy" part or sashimi which was already suggested. What about one roll, sashimi, miso soup and side salad or seaweed salad? I know you didn't ask for other suggestions but I can't help in trying to help.

Thanks! I'm really in a roll kind of mood, and I definitely want a rainbow roll. Just have to decide what the other will be. Maybe plain tuna like you suggested. I love tuna.

Re: Sushi tonight, what to get?
Thanks for your help everyone! I even ended up with leftovers, so I don't think I did too badly. i never account for the fact that my eyes are bigger than my stomach.
