sushi???

[Griz1]

I never really thought about it til now so I'm gonna post this.

How does sushi fit in as a good/bad food. Sashimi should be alright cause it's basically raw fish/seafood. But overall is the stuff good or bad. I would imagine for bulking it would be a good food. Cutting it would likely be a bad thing.

Opinions???

I've been eating it a lot lately and the answer really lies in how much carbs you need or don't need when you are cutting.




Mmmmmmmmmm

sushi = raw fish (good) + white rice (very high GI carbs = bad)

It also depends on the kind of sushi you eat.

There is this mouth-watering sushi, made with fried shrimp, which I only have on cheat days

So if you found Brown sushi rice then it would read:
sushi = raw fish (good) + brown rice (low GI carbs = OK)

actually white rice is about the same if not lower on the gi scale than brown rice

yep I think we had this discussion on another thread

white rice = brown rice as far as G.I.

however brown rice has 3-4 times as much fiber.

more fiber = lower insulin response

 

[bran987]

more fiber = lower insulin response

Therefore - if going to eat white rice sushi, make sure to bring your bottle of R-ALA

I HATE rice. It's only serves two useful purposes in life.

1) Packing material
2) Delivery vehicle for RAW fish!

It's all about the rice...

Although most people associate the term "sushi" with raw fish, sushi is actually nothing more than finger-sized portions of vinegared rice...it just happens that raw fish is one of the most common toppings. But anyway, depending on how much you eat at a sitting it is a decent carb-up. I save up and go to town every couple weeks with a super cheat night...all the sushi I can inhale followed by a DQ Blizzard
