The original idea for this low carb keto sushi without rice came from a friend of mine. Her entire family is gluten-free and low carb, plus she’s an incredible cook, and she allowed me to share it with all of you!
But what about regular sushi: is sushi keto friendly, or worth avoiding altogether? Let’s talk about carbs in sushi and keto friendly sushi options to enjoy at home or when dining out . Then, try other keto Asian dishes like egg roll in a bowl , keto orange chicken , or cauliflower fried rice !
Why You Need My Keto Sushi Recipe
- Light and fresh taste, with the same flavors as regular sushi
- Crunchy veggies with tender fish
- No sticky rice or sushi mat needed
- Easy to customize with your favorite basic fillings
- Satisfies cravings in just 15 minutes
- 2g net carbs per serving
- Naturally gluten-free
Is Sushi Keto Friendly?
Most traditional types of sushi are not keto, as most of them are made with rice (and carbs in rice are too high for the keto diet). The fish and seafood have high nutrition value and a great source of omega 3s, but the rice is an issue. Fortunately, there are still plenty of keto sushi options available that avoid rice altogether — without sacrificing flavor.
Is Sushi Rice Keto Friendly?
Sorry, sushi rice isn’t keto. It contains too many carbs for keto diet macros .
Ingredients You’ll Need
Here I explain the best ingredients for my low carb sushi recipe, what each one does, and substitution options. For measurements, see the recipe card .
- Smoked Salmon – Also known as lox , this is one of the easiest fish to find for keto sushi, and since it’s “cooked”, I was able to serve this for my kids. But any raw sushi grade fish will work. (A salmon avocado roll, made with raw sushi grade salmon, has always been my favorite kind.) If you have leftovers, you can use it along with cauliflower rice in my sushi bake recipe .
- Low Carb Vegetables – Including red bell pepper, cucumber, and avocado. For more ideas, see this keto vegetables list or scroll down to see best restaurant options.
- Seaweed Snacks – These are small, thin sheets of seaweed you can find at most grocery stores. You can also use a full sheet of seaweed cut into smaller pieces with kitchen shears.
- Water – Used to seal the seaweed and hold the no rice sushi together.
VARIATION: Want sushi with keto sushi rice as opposed to no rice?
Try the bacon wrapped keto sushi in my Easy Keto Carboholics Cookbook , which uses cauliflower rice as a substitute and wraps the sushi in bacon. It’s amazing!
How To Make Keto Sushi Without Rice
I have step-by-step photos here to help you visualize the recipe. For full instructions with amounts and temperatures, see the recipe card .
- Cut. Put vegetables into thin matchstick pieces. Cut salmon and avocado into slightly wider pieces, with the same length. (You will need 20 pieces of each.)
- Arrange. Arrange five seaweed snacks and a single layer on a cutting board. Wet your finger with water, and moisten the short end of each sheet. Place sushi filling ingredients on the opposite side. (Do not roll yet.) Repeat for the remaining sheets.
- Roll. Turn to the first sheet. Roll, and press the edge to seal. Place seam side down on a plate. Repeat with the remaining sheets.
Storage Instructions
Riceless sushi tastes best right after rolling it (otherwise, the seaweed gets too soft from the moisture in the veggies). If you don’t plan on serving very many rolls, store vegetables, fish (or make smoked salmon salad with the leftovers), avocado, and seaweed snacks separately and assemble just before serving. Avocado will brown after prolonged storage, so squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top or avoid slicing it altogether until you’re ready to serve.
How Many Carbs In Sushi?
This keto sushi recipe has just 2 grams net carbs per serving (4 pieces). But does sushi have carbs if it’s the regular kind? It depends on the variety you order, but these varieties of sushi contain a high number of carbs because they have rice:
- Nigiri sushi – Toppings, including raw fish, served over sushi rice
- Maki – Rice and other fillings wrapped in a nori sheet
- Uramaki – Fillings wrapped in a nori sheet and then wrapped in a layer of rice
- Temaki – Fillings and rice hand rolled into a seaweed cone
(Find carb counts for select popular sushi items below.)
The only types of sushi that are naturally keto friendly are:
- Sashimi – Contains plain sliced fish (which is 0 grams of carbohydrate , both net and total).
- Naruto – Uses thin, rolled cucumber instead of rice. They are also naturally low in calories and high in fiber.
How Many Carbs In A Sushi Roll?
Carbs in sushi rolls vary slightly depending on their fillings. A 6-piece tuna roll with rice and raw tuna, for example, contains 27.5 grams total carbs and 26.2 grams net carbs [ * ].
How Many Carbs In One Piece Of Sushi?
Carbs in a single piece of sushi will be lower, but still quite high in carbs to be very keto friendly. One piece of a tuna roll contains 4.6 grams total carbs and 4.4 grams net carbs [ * ].
How Many Carbs In California Roll Sushi?
California rolls are highly popular, but sadly not keto. A 6-piece California roll contains 33.1 grams total carbs and 31.3 grams net carbs . A single piece contains 5.5 grams total carbs and 5.2 grams net carbs [ * ].
How Many Carbs In Sushi Rice?
Most sushi uses this kind of rice (usually seasoned with rice vinegar and sugar), but you’ll want to avoid it on keto, or if carb intake is a concern. One cup of plain sushi rice contains 36.5 grams total carbs and 34.8 grams net carbs [ * ].
The chart below summarizes the amount of carbs in sushi and sushi rice:
How To Order Sushi On Keto
Homemade keto sushi rolls are great, but what if you are eating out? Given the high carbs in rice, it may seem difficult to find low carb sushi options at restaurants. If you want to know how to eat keto at a sushi bar, here are some tips to keep in mind:
- Avoid all rice – That includes brown rice and white rice. Even a few ounces of white rice can blow your macros! You can sometimes order regular sushi rolls and ask the restaurant to omit the rice. Some locations also offer rice-free rolls such as naruto maki, which is a type of cucumber roll. Other rolls, such as the Philadelphia roll, are naturally keto if rice is omitted.
- Avoid tempura breaded foods – These will be fried and contain added carbs. You may find tempura in sushi rolls (such as a shrimp tempura roll), used to fry vegetables, and even sprinkled in flakes as a garnish on sushi.
- Pay attention to soy – If you are sensitive to soy or try to avoid it on a keto or low carb diet, keep in mind that sushi restaurants offer many soy-based products even though it is naturally low in carbs (edamame, miso soup, tofu, soy sauce ).
- Check ingredients and carbohydrates ahead of time – I do this for fast food on keto , too! If you have an idea of what you want to order, look at ingredients and macros before you go to the restaurant.
- Beware of added sugar or starch – Some menu items may appear healthy (such as seaweed salad, imitation crab meat, tamago, wasabi, or pickled ginger), but may contain added sugar or starches. Look for plain fresh fish and veggies to avoid these added carbs.
Best Keto Sushi Options At Restaurants
If you’re wondering what to order at a sushi restaurant on keto (or you’re making it at home), here are the best keto sushi options for rolls and for other popular sushi restaurant dishes.
Proteins
- All unbreaded seafood and shellfish except imitation crab: Salmon, shrimp, eel, tuna, etc.
- Beef or chicken, grilled only
- Cream cheese
- Edamame (avoid if sensitive to soy)
Toppings & Garnishes
- Fish roe
- Seaweed (nori)
- Sesame seeds
Vegetables
- Avocado
- Bean sprouts
- Bell peppers
- Cucumber
- Green onion
- Lettuce
- Mushrooms
- Radish
Sauces & Condiments
- Plain mayonnaise
- Soy sauce
When I’m ordering at a sushi restaurant, I look for naruto first, because I can usually order it without requesting any modifications. If that’s not available, ask for sashimi or nigiri with no rice and vegetables on the side. Another moderately safe option at sushi restaurants is a stir fry with garlic, oil, salt, and pepper; sauces usually contain sugar, flour, cornstarch, or some combination of these.

Ingredients
Tap underlined ingredients to see the ones I use.
- 4 oz Smoked salmon (or raw sushi grade fish) ▢
- 1/4 large Red bell pepper ▢
- 1/2 medium Cucumber (~8″ long) ▢
- 1/2 medium Avocado ▢
- 20 sheets Seaweed snacks (~1/2 of a 0.6 oz package) ▢
- Water ▢
Instructions
Tap on the times in the instructions to start a kitchen timer.
- Cut the red peppers and cucumbers into very narrow matchstick pieces of even length – about 1/4 in (about 1/2 cm) wide and the same length as the narrow side of a seaweed snack sheet. Cut the salmon and avocado into pieces the same length, but wider. You’ll need 20 pieces of each.
- Arrange a row of 5 seaweed snacks in a single layer on a cutting board. Pour some cold water in a bowl nearby. Wet your finger with water and wet the short edge of each seaweed sheet, Place one piece each of salmon, red pepper, cucumber, and avocado at the opposite edge of the first seaweed snack.
- Repeat step 2 for the entire row. Once the whole row is done, roll up the first seaweed snack and press the edge to seal. (The water should have softened the edge by this point, making it easy to seal. The wet edge from the first piece will soften naturally by the time you finish adding to the last.) Place seam side down onto a plate.
- Repeat steps 2-3 until you use up all your seaweed snack sheets.

The Basic Keto Meal Formula
Eating keto doesn’t have to be complicated! While there are plenty of delicious easy keto recipes to choose from, you don’t even have to cook from a recipe to get started.
Simply follow the keto cheat sheet formula of protein + veggie + fat for your meals.
Be sure to choose a moderate amount of protein, only low carb vegetables (mostly ones that grow above ground), and generous fat to attain an optimal macro ratio. That’s approximately 60-75% of calories from fat, 20-25% protein, and 5-10% from carbohydrates. The table below will give you ideas for what to choose.
| Pick A Protein | Pick A Veggie | Add Fat |
|---|---|---|
| Beef Chicken Pork Eggs Lamb Turkey Fish Shellfish Protein powder Venison | Cauliflower Broccoli Zucchini Leafy Greens Cucumbers Brussels Sprouts Cabbage Asparagus Radishes Bell Peppers Jicama Celery | Butter Avocado Oil Cheese Bacon Avocado Lard Ghee Mayo Nuts MCT Oil |
Understanding Macros
Macros are macronutrients for short. They include fat, protein, and carbohydrates.
You can calculate your own macros using the macro calculator , but the macro keto cheat sheet below will explain how to look at macros when following a keto lifestyle.
Carbs Are A Limit.
Keeping carbs low is what gets you into ketosis and keeps you there. Ketosis means that you’re using fat as your primary energy source instead of sugar, and requires keeping carbs very low.
A good starting point is 20-25 grams net carbs per day, but you can experiment after a few weeks to see if your body stays in ketosis at higher levels. People who are very active may be able to do more and stay in ketosis, up to around 50 grams per day.
“Carbs are a limit” means that you set a limit for how many carbs to eat per day and don’t exceed it. You don’t have to hit that limit, so if you’re under that’s okay, just don’t go over. Ideally most of your carbs would come from low carb vegetables, and if you’re eating enough veggies, you’ll usually get close to the limit naturally.
A common misconception is that reaching ketosis requires a certain macro ratio, but it’s really only restricting your carb intake that gets you there [ * ]. In the absence of sufficient carbs to use as energy, the body will switch to using fat as fuel. This is called the metabolic state of ketosis.
Protein Is A Goal.
Protein is made up of amino acids, the building blocks of all our cells. It’s a crucial for keeping our muscles strong and for many cellular functions [ * ].
“Protein is a goal” means that you always want to eat enough protein to reach the goal each day, but not exceed it too much. You want enough for your needs, but excess protein can trigger gluconeogenesis, which is protein being converted to sugar [ * ] and can kick you out of ketosis.
Fat Is A Lever.
Fat is the primary macronutrient in a keto lifestyle, because being in ketosis means that fat is your primary fuel source. Fat as a fuel source will come from your food, and if you are losing weight, from your body.
A big advantage of a keto lifestyle is the high fat intake. It keeps you full and satisfied, making it easier to stick to, and using it as the primary fuel source makes it easier on your body to burn body fat, with a lower chance of breaking down your muscle (provided you get enough protein).
Aside from reaching your protein goal and limiting your carbs, the remainder of your calories on a keto diet comes from fat.
Don’t fear fat – it’s your main energy source on keto, and getting enough of it trains your body to use fat for fuel instead of sugar. That means that as long as you are not overdoing your overall calorie intake, you’ll efficiently burn your body fat for fuel as well.
“Fat is a lever” means that you can increase or decrease your fat intake depending on your goals and hunger levels. Increase it (along with exercise) to gain muscle, or decrease it to lose weight.
Keto Food Swaps
One of my favorite challenges is creating recipes, or just discovering, keto food swaps. These are delicious keto replacements for traditionally high-carb or high-sugar foods.
So, I created this keto diet cheat sheet with all the swaps in one place! I also have more keto food swaps in my Easy Keto Cookbook .

Keto Food List
When looking for a keto cheat sheet printable, the most-requested information is a keto food list.
The great thing is that keto doesn’t have to feel restrictive. It’s incredibly satisfying and there’s such a wide variety of foods you can eat!
Foods To Eat On Keto
- Leafy greens – Such as spinach, chard, and lettuce.
- Above-ground veggies – Such as peppers, zucchini, and cauliflower.
- Full-fat cream & cheese – Such as heavy cream, sour cream, and full-fat hard cheeses.
- Natural meats – Such as beef, lamb, and pork.
- Berries – Such as raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries.
- Avocados
- Unsweetened nut milks – Such as almond milk and coconut milk.
- Almond flour and coconut flour
- Eggs
- Healthy fats – Such as coconut oil, avocado oil, olive oil and butter.
Foods To Avoid On Keto
- White flour & sugar
- Rice & grains – Such as barley, wheat, and corn.
- Milk & yogurt – Such as fruit on the bottom yogurt, sweetened Greek yogurt, and all milk.

Electrolyte Basics
Getting enough electrolytes is crucial for anyone, but especially so on a keto diet. The reason is that ketosis has a diuretic effect, which increases excretion of water and electrolytes, especially sodium [ * ]. This is often the cause of the keto flu.
For more details on electrolytes and avoiding keto flu, check out the full keto flu guide here .
The important thing to know about electrolytes is that replenishing them will keep keto flu away and keep your body functioning well. I always recommend an electrolyte drink and whole food sources of anything your body needs before resorting to supplements, so I made a list of what to eat to get each of the 3 major electrolytes – sodium, magnesium and potassium.
Here’s your keto diet cheat sheet for getting electrolytes from food:
| Sodium | Magnesium | Potassium |
|---|---|---|
| Bone broth Boullion cubes Bacon Salted nuts Pickles | Seaweed Seeds Nuts Avocado Leafy greens | Potassium chloride Avocado Bone broth Spinach Broccoli Mushrooms Beef Pork |
Keto Diet Types
People follow a keto lifestyle for different reasons. Some do it just to lose weight, others are after better overall health, increased energy, and reduced inflammation.
Strictly speaking, the defining factor of a keto diet is the metabolic state of ketosis, which is achieved by restricting carbs. However, many people (myself included) also reduce or eliminate processed, inflammatory, or low-nutrient foods.
Below is your keto cheat sheet summary of the different ways that people follow keto. You choose what works best for your goals and lifestyle!
- Strict Keto – Up to 20-30g net carbs daily, count all calories and macros, and eat clean, unprocessed foods.
- Lazy Keto – Up to 20-30g net carbs daily, and track only net carbs OR eat keto foods without tracking.
- Dirty Keto – Up to 20-30g net carbs daily, with “if it fits your macros” approach including processed foods.
- Low Carb – Up to 50-100g net carbs daily, less strict.
