In the last article, ‘Is SUSHI low in Calories?’ I was asked how the calorie counts related to common foods such as burgers, steak etc. The table will give you a little insight on how overconsumption of SUSHI can be quite high in calories. It would make sense to first understand how many calories we should be consuming per day. This formula will give you a better idea:

Estimating your Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR)

• Age: years
• Height: cm
• Weight: kg

• Male = 66+(5xheight(cm)) + (13.7xweight(kg)) – (6.8xage(years))
• Female = 655+(1.7xheight(cm)) + (9.6xweight(kg)) – (4.7xage(years))

• Weight Loss: RMR x (1.1 to 1.3)
• Maintenance: RMR x (1.4 to 1.5)
• Weight Gain: RMR x (1.6 to 1.7)

• Note that the Sushi Roll comparison is with California Rolls
• Note that the Sashimi comparison is with Farmed Salmon
