Most protein per roll
Rolls are mostly rice, so even the best are modest on protein. These are Sushi Hub's highest:
| Roll | kJ | Cal | Protein | Carbs | Fat |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Teriyaki Chicken Avocado Roll | 1,030 | 245 | 14.3g | 44.5g | 0.7g |
| Crispy Chicken Cucumber Roll | 1,050 | 250 | 11.7g | 42g | 3.6g |
| Smoked Salmon Cream Cheese Roll | 1,100 | 263 | 11g | 38.9g | 6.9g |
| Crispy Chicken Avocado Roll | 1,160 | 278 | 10.9g | 45.1g | 5.8g |
| Teriyaki Tofu Roll | 1,150 | 275 | 10.9g | 52.7g | 1.9g |
| Teriyaki Beef Avocado Roll | 1,000 | 239 | 10.7g | 42.1g | 2.8g |
If you're chasing protein after training, assorted sashimi (32.1g protein, 191 calories) or one of the salads on the Sushi Hub high-protein page does more than another roll. Two rolls plus edamame is a common lunch; add the numbers up before you assume sushi is light.
