Weekend weight gain

Spam or no spam, I'm with Tulip on the sushi. It always gets me up 1-3 pounds overnight, even if my overall eating that day was low! I attribute it to the sodium and the rice as well. Glad to hear I'm not alone on that one. Not going to give up sushi...

Give it up? Why would you even think about that? Sushi is my traditional eve-of-race meal. Easily digestible carbs and clean protein, really not that much sodium but I always need more sodium than I can get from food anyway. It's the perfect food for athletes as far as I'm concerned!

It's certainly my favorite food! I would eat it a lot more if it were less expensive I do sometimes go with the non-traditional brown rice. Gives it a completely different, but good, flavor IMO.

Indeed… there really shouldn't be that much sodium involved.. I'd guess I use less than tsp or two of soy sauce when I go… you've just got to remember you *don't* dunk the rice… fish side only in the shoyu..

I don't use soy sauce at all so the only reason I see a scale bump after eating it is that I ALWAYS overeat sushi. It's so good and so easy to just shovel it in before my satiety signals kick in.... Ugh.

I should try eating it with just one chopstick and see if that slows me down some.
