Hi

What type of sushi/sashimi are good for your health, e.g. I know salmon roll is good due to the omega 3 fatty acid, anything else?



Answer
All traditional Japanese food are good for your health

As you can see below, each meal vegetables, meat (during lunch) or seafood (often during dinner and breakfast), egg, milk. It is a well balance and healthy diet.

A traditional Japanese diet are as fellow

Breakfast
A traditional Japanese breakfast consists of steamed rice, miso soup, and various side dishes such as tsukemono pickles, steam vegetables, tamagoyaki and natto. Main dishes are broiled/grilled fish, sometime it will replace by omelets or other western dishes.

Lunch
Popular Japanese lunch dishes are rice bowls and various noodles. For example, beef bowls, soba noodles, ramen noodles, and udon noodles are popular.
Most student, even workers bring bento (lunch boxes) to school or work. During lunch time, student will compare to see who got the best bento. Homemade bento is a way to show how much they care about the person they made for.
In high school, its almost a competition almond girls to see who can made the best one, they will also made a extra one for their "love one"
But no matter what, bento will always include starch, meat, veg, juice/milk. Most school don't have soda machine, pop are pretty much off limit.

For working adult, they will ether bring bento (some might purchase from the store), or go out for lunch, most of the time are Donburi (rice bowl), Ramen, or lunch set.

Dinner
Dinner is the main meal in a day. The basic consists of steamed rice, soup, and various side dishes such as vegetable, tamago. Main dishes are not limit to Japanese but it could be from Italian, Chinese, French and American.

There is no such thing as dessert in Japan, Japanese eat "sweet" as snack through out the day, item such as cakes, ice cream, crapes, rice craker.

Any other way to look at it is by campare it with fast food
info from McDonald's web

Double Cheeseburger -- 440 Calories
Quarter Pounder with Cheese -- 510 Calories
Big Mac -- 540 Calories
French Fries (Medium) - 380 Calories

average person
lunch @ fast food
Double cheese burger + Medium Fries ~~= 820 Calories

lunch @ sushi restaurant
mix sushi set avg 45 kcal / pc
10 pieces / meal ~~= 450 Calories
12 pieces/meal ~~= 540 Calories

even worst case if you only order Anago @ 61.9 kcal/pc
10 pieces / meal ~~= 619 Calories
12 pieces/meal ~~= 743 Calories

it is still better than a bouble cheese burger and fried.
