Calories in sushi
The Friday night tray, whose piece is better counted than guessed: a sushi is rice first.
What a real portion weighs
The Anses table gives values per 100 grams, and 100 grams is not a portion anybody serves. Here are the same values, applied to the portions as they turn up. Weights are in grams, the unit the table is built on. For a quick conversion: 1 oz is about 28 g, and 1 lb is about 454 g.
| Portion | Weight | Energy | Protein | Carbs | Fat | Fiber |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Six pieces | 160 g | 274 kcal | 10.7 g | 43 g | 5.9 g | 1.4 g |
| One piece | 27 g | 46 kcal | 1.8 g | 7.3 g | 1 g | 0.2 g |
Where these weights come from. The average piece of a retail tray, all formats together: maki, california and nigiri are not equal, and the average holds the range.

What a table of values does not say
- The fish signs the piece, while the vinegared rice and its seasoning make the weight and most of the table.
- A whole tray is a portion decided in advance: one piece calls the next, and the count works better at the ordering stage than after it.
What comes after the number
How much to eat in a day
A portion means nothing without the day that holds it. A calorie need is worked out from height, weight, age and activity level, then split into protein, carbohydrate and fat.

An average weight is an estimate. A photo is not.
In Zemiam, a photo of the meal is enough to log the real portion, with the composition of this same table rather than a guessed figure.
Where the values come from
The composition comes from the Anses Ciqual table: Anses. 2025. Table de composition nutritionnelle des aliments Ciqual, published under Licence Ouverte 2.0. The per-100 g values are reproduced without being altered; the per-portion values are those same values multiplied by a weight, and that weight is not an Anses figure.
