How bad is gyro meat (chicken)

[effec]

coworkers wants to head out to a middle eastern hole in the way stand for lunch. I didnt brown bag it today, so its too late to back out. The only type of meat they have is gyro meat on a spit. I'm sure they have both chicken and beef. I doubt the chicken is white meat, and I doubt the layer of melting fat sitting on top does anything to help me.... Does anyone know how bad this stuff is for you compared to regular chicken breast?

I think Ill try to asking for some shredded lettuce topped with a small portion of the chicken.

Its not too bad.

Lots of protein, depending on where you go its mainly white meat but yes it does have some fat on it. who cares man, you need to eat

I was under the impression "gyro" meat was specifically beef and lamb...?

Raditional Greek "Fast Food" includes the "souvlaki" and the "gyro". Two terms that are interchangeable and can refer to two different things depending on the town, restaurant, or waiter.

Traditionally, souvlaki refers to shiskebab (pieces of pork grilled on a stick) but many times it refers to gyros (the assortment of minced meat, tomatoes, onions, and tzatziki, wrapped in pita bread). So you run the risk when ordering a souvlaki (the shiskebab) to find that you really ordered a Gyros sandwich and vice versa.

I wouldn't worry too much brother, just eat it in moderation.

I have discovered that 4 oz of chicken gyro meat = 184 calories & 7 grams of fat.

It has protein just dont load on that white sauce high in calories but a really great way to get your macros. Just stay away from the lamb its compressed meat or some**** and someone told me its a bad thing.
