Gyro meat

[seanleonard1987]

Quick question guys, anyone know the nutritional values and cals of chicken gyro, I ran a search and could only find values for a whole pitta including the bread, just want the meat values cause if high fat/protein could be a substantial keto candidate, thanks!

most meat of that sort is very high in fat

Chicken gyro (the meat) is fine for a keto diet, but the bread/pitta is not.

Yeah Think the meat will be a large part of my diet since I'm going to be spending most of the summer in Greece, but can anyone give me the nutritional info. ?

Hello from Greece. If I were you, I wouldn't touch any type of gyro meat, chicken or pork. It is so much processed that it is generally considered an unhealthy choice, maybe taste it once for fun but don't make it a staple in your diet. Also protein is not as high as you would expect from a chicken product and fat is very high. Also, you can't really rely on the quality of this product, pretty much they can sell you whatever they like without any control, you don't know what goes inside that chicken gyro meat. If you are planning on eating from the places that sell gyro meat, some better choices would be chicken breast and chicken souvlaki, if they don't have enough fat for you, you can get the fat from other sources easily.

I just had lunch at a greek place: the chicken was certainly not processed and was clearly lean, seasoned, pure breast meat. I took the fries, grape leaves, and extra Pita home.

What you ate is not called chicken gyro here, it's just chicken breast cut in small pieces, which I mentioned is a better choice.

Thanks I do appreciate what you are saying that I can't get a true nutrient value as the food quality varies, but as an occasional on the go snack I'd like to know roughly how many cals/carbs/protein/fat it provides. I eat souvlaki frequently and Greek olive oil is great! And Greek yogurt, feta cheese. Trust me I don't go hungry over there

I'd love to help but I don't think there is any official info on cals etc. To give you an idea about pork gyro, the word around is that it can have as much as 80% fat.
