Zone & Nutrition Labels: California Sushi Roll

Ugh, I hate myself for doing this one already but here we go... 
If you're like me you LOVE a good sushi snack... Well honestly you may want to skip this post because a quick glance at this nutrition label tells me that unfortunately the California Roll is nowhere near balanced. 

While I consider a good sushi roll to be one of the finer things in life, I limit how often I eat it, and you'll see why in a minute. 

Without further ado!
Protein: 5g / 7g = .7 ≈ about a 1 block protein
Carbohydrates: 34g / 9g = 3.7 ≈ about a 4 block carb
Fat: 4g / 3g = 1.3 ≈ about a 1 block fat

Now... This is clearly not a very balanced meal, and I actually notice at the top that it says "about 2 servings per container," which means that this roll is actually more like a 1.5 block protein, 7 block carbohydrate, and 3 block fat. YIKES! 

We would need to eat about half of this roll and still supplement protein and fat... Maybe request the sushi roll come with raw salmon and some of those delicious sesame seeds on top? That honestly sounds like a win-win to me! I love a little raw salmon in my life. Plus fish oils work wonders on the body. 

​Comment below with some of your favorite snacks and we will choose some to add to the website all Zone'd out for you :)
