Battle for calories at the Japanese restaurant –

The gohan (rice used in temaki and sushi stuffing) is pointed out as one of the risks of the Japanese restaurant. However, the real danger is shoyu – which, according to the Orientals, should be used sparingly, but Brazilians abuse it: they dip the food in this sauce, which, because it has a lot of sodium, makes the body retain liquid. It’s better to opt for shoyu light and even so, take it easy. Another pitfall is the tarê sauce (soy sauce + sugar). Refuse it and pay attention to the options that have roll, skin or crispy in the name. They are fried preparations and, of course, caloric! For the same reason, avoid tempura (breaded vegetables) and share a portion of teppan (grilled fish, but made with a lot of oil). The diet is also grateful if you prefer sushi and temaki without mayonnaise or cream cheese. Are you going to order yakisoba? Ask for the version with protein (chicken or meat), as it is more filling and only 70 calories more than vegetable yakisoba. Is the doubt among the temakis? So check out the calories below:
