The hottest news topic these days is: "Salmon Chaos"! In order to get the free delicious salmon sushi from "Sushiro", many people changed their names, and in the past two days, eligible people flocked in to enjoy the salmon sushi. There were even media reports that some people paid as much as 12,000 yuan, and the floor was littered with empty salmon plates. Faced with this phenomenon, nutritionists remind us to think about what hidden landmines may be hidden before taking impulsive action. What happens if you eat too much salmon? Which one is the calorie king in the salmon sushi world? Why should you worry about your blood sugar and blood lipids?

Changing the name to salmon is creating a trend! The store welcomes "Mr. Salmon" and "Ms. Salmon"

The conveyor belt sushi restaurant chain "Sushiro" launched the "Love Returns Salmon, Missing Person Notice" promotion on March 17 and 18. If your name contains one homophone of "ㄍㄨㄟ" or "ㄩˊ", you can enjoy a 10% discount. If you have two homophones, you can enjoy a 50% discount. If your name is "Salmon", you can get it for free. Unexpectedly, after the event was announced, many people rushed to the household registration office and changed their names to "Salmon", rushing to join the pilgrimage! The store owners were not afraid when they saw "Mr. Salmon" and "Ms. Salmon" coming to the store to eat for free, and even raised their arms to welcome them.

Enjoy free salmon sushi, but are you worried about the calorie limit?

Everyone says, "Eating fish is healthy and makes you smarter," and some even say, "Eating salmon can provide you with rich nutrition." However, when enjoying free salmon sushi, if a person eats dozens of plates of salmon sushi in one go, would they worry about exceeding the calorie limit? What other questions could there be? Nutritionist Gao Minmin said that first of all, let's look at the nutritional content of salmon. Every 100g of salmon is rich in 14.9g of fat and 20.2g of protein. Although it is rich in omega-3 fatty acids and is a good source of fat, if it is consumed in excess, it will lead to excessive fat intake in a day, which may cause abdominal distension, indigestion, increased blood sugar and blood lipids, excessive calorie intake, obesity and other problems, affecting health.

Nutritionist Gao Minmin: Salmon sushi rice is the calorie king...

Next, let’s look at the calorie content of salmon. For a plate of salmon sushi from Sushiro, the calorie content is as follows: (Table provided by nutritionist Gao Minmin)

Salmon with basil cheese sauce 137kcal

Salmon with Onion 124kcal

Salmon with basil and mozzarella cheese 117kcal

Grilled Tuna Belly with Grated Radish 96kcal

Grilled salmon 95kcal

Salmon sushi calories 95kcal

Salmon roe gunkan 81kcal

Nutritionist: A piece of salmon contains at least 25 calories and about 2g of fat

Nutritionist Gao Minmin analyzed: If the weight of a salmon sushi "rice" is about 15 grams, the calories are about 35 calories. If a bowl of rice has 280 calories, you can only eat 8 pieces of rice, which means about 4 plates are equivalent to the calories of a bowl of rice! But the key to salmon sushi is the salmon slices, so it is impossible to eat only the rice. A salmon-flavored sushi is about 47.5 to 60 calories, so including the ingredients, a slice of salmon meat is at least about 25 calories and contains about 2g of fat.

According to the Ministry of Health and Welfare's recommended upper limit for daily fat intake: (estimated based on static workers weighing 70 and 55 kg for men and women respectively) 70 grams for men and 55 grams for women per day. **This means that if a girl eats 14 plates of salmon sushi, the fat content in a day will be off the charts!

Nutritionist Gao Minmin suggests that if one meal has an average of 700 calories, 5-7 plates of salmon-flavored sushi would be enough for each person. Don't sacrifice your health for free eating, as that would not be cost-effective.
