Sushi Rolls For Bodybuilders [Bulkbites.com]
- Servings: 1
- Time: 30 minutes
I believe Sushi can be a great bodybuilding meal, it is not as high in calorie as it is considered. My love to sushi encourages me to do some modification in the original recipe to make it fit under my macros. This version of sushi is not high in calorie and fat. Just replace white rice with cooked quinoa or brown rice to make it low fat and calorie. It is loaded with essential fatty acids, protein and complex carbs. Try different filling for sushi rolls be it vegetables, quinoa, brown rice or even white rice if you use them in moderation. Here I am going to use quinoa and avocado for the filling. Smoked Salmon fillet will taste best with this roll though you can use any fish for this recipe.
