A plate of nigiri ≈ 100 kcal
Real data across Sushiro (avg 103), Hama Sushi (102) and Kura Sushi (106) makes the rule of thumb simple: one plate is about 100 kcal. A 600 kcal meal is six plates — or five plus miso soup.
Sides break the count
Ramen and fried sides run 300–600 kcal each; Sushiro’s tonkotsu-shoyu ramen alone is 560 kcal, worth five or six plates. Subtract plates accordingly, and mind salt past ten plates.
