The Ultimate Sushi Tracking Guide

Y’all love your cream cheese and sashimi and we’re here to help you track it!


The MOst Popular Sushi:

We polled our clients about which rolls were the most popular that they wanted help with tracking, and these were it!

Basic Rolls:

  • California Roll

  • Spicy Tuna/Salmon Roll

  • Shrimp/Tuna Tempura Roll

  • Veggie Rolls

  • Rainbow Rolls

  • Philadelphia Rolls

Raw Fish:

  • Sashimi

  • Nigiri

The Fully Loaded Rolls:

  • Tiger Rolls

  • Dragon Roll A.K.A. the one with every topping

  • “The Deep-Fried Crunchy Ones”

  • The ones with THE MOST sauces


Basic Rolls? we Gotchu

Whether it’s the California or Spicy Tuna Roll, just track it by the piece! There’s an entry for most basic rolls, and if you ate 10pcs, track 10pcs.

There are plenty of Cronometer entries by the piece count, and that will be close enough for guesstimating. Don’t overcomplicate it!


Do you love Raw fish?

Sashimi:

The average piece of sashimi weighs ~0.5-0.7 oz per slice, so if you had 6 slices of ahi, you could log it as ~3.6 oz (0.6 x 6 = 3.6oz), which is close enough!

Nigiri:

Like the basic rolls, there are tons of entries for piece-count nigiri. Use one of those, and it’ll get you close enough!


Now what about that dragon roll?

Are you out with friends and splitting some specialty rolls? At this point, rather than piecemeal a couple of different entries, it’s probably going to be easier to just create a custom food.

We’ve done the research here, so you don’t have to!

Create a custom food entry with the below macros for 2 rolls. Only eat 1? Log it as half a serving. Eat a total of 3 rolls, log it as 1.5 servings, and move on!

2 Specialty Rolls Macros:

  • 36g Protein

  • 32g Fat

  • 110g Carb


takeaways

Don’t make it too hard on yourself! Sushi out is an experience, and one meal per week, guesstimated like this, will only sway your weekly data averages by up to 3%.*

  • All sushi places do their rolls slightly differently, so expecting perfection in tracking is a fool’s errand. Being okay with being close enough will help alleviate the stress of perfect tracking.

  • Remember you can always ask the restaurant if they have their own nutritional information!
