One gyro pita is a 368-calorie meal
A standard gyro pita weighs about 200 g and lands at 368 calories, or 18% of a 2,000-calorie daily value. That serving brings 22.5 g protein, 37.6 g carbs and 13.5 g fat. It is a full meal, not a snack, and it is best logged that way.
The total climbs fast when the order doubles. Two sandwiches come to 736 calories and 45 g protein. Three reach 1,104 calories, and a five-sandwich platter adds up to 1,840 calories across 1,000 g of food. If you share a platter, count the grams you actually ate rather than the number of pitas on the tray.
Size varies more than people expect. A loaded takeout gyro with extra meat and a heavy pour of sauce can run well past 200 g, while a smaller pita sits closer to 100 g and 184 calories. Weighing one at home once gives you a reference you can reuse every time you order.
Carbs lead, but fat is a third of the calories
Per 100 g, a gyro pita holds 18.8 g carbs, 11.2 g protein and 6.8 g fat. Carbs supply 42% of the calories, fat 34% and protein 25%. That is a fairly even split for a sandwich, with no single macro running away with the total.
The bread carries most of the carbs and the meat carries most of the fat. Fiber is low at 1 g per 100 g, or 2 g in a whole sandwich, so the pita does little to add bulk. Sugar is modest too, at 3.5 g per sandwich.
Protein is the strong point. At 22.5 g per sandwich, one gyro pita covers 45% of the 50 g daily value, which beats most bread-based lunches. Saturated fat sits at 2.5 g per 100 g, so the amount of meat and sauce matters more than the bread if you watch that row.
Sodium is the row to watch
A single sandwich carries 646 mg sodium, 28% of the 2,300 mg daily value. That is a real share for one meal, though not extreme for a hot sandwich built on seasoned meat.
Portions are where sodium gets out of hand. Two sandwiches reach 1,292 mg, and three hit 1,938 mg, most of the daily value before any fries, pickles or soda join in. The seasoned meat drives much of it: gyro meat alone runs 835 mg per 100 g, against 323 mg for the assembled pita, where bread and vegetables dilute it.
If you watch sodium, ask for less meat and more salad inside the pita, skip extra salt on the side, and keep the rest of the day lighter on processed foods. Cholesterol is moderate at 29 mg per 100 g, and potassium sits at 205 mg per 100 g.
Build the rest of the plate around the pita
At 368 calories, a gyro pita fits as a main meal in most eating patterns. The real question is what comes with it. Fries or a second pita can double the total quickly, while a side salad or sliced cucumber adds volume for very few calories.
Because fiber is only 2 g per sandwich, vegetables do the most useful work on the side. A Greek salad with light dressing, extra tomato and onion inside the pita, or a bowl of lentil soup all add the fiber the sandwich lacks. Keep tzatziki to a spoonful if you track fat, since sauce is where homemade and takeout versions drift apart.
Packaged options such as Harris-Teeter Gyro Pita Sliders come in smaller pieces, so check the package weight before logging. BodyPal can log a gyro from a photo, which helps when the sandwich arrives without a label.
How does gyro pita compare?
Here is how gyro pita stacks up against gyro sandwich, gyro meat and gyro wrap, per 100 g and per usual serving.
Verdict: Gyro pita, gyro sandwich and gyro wrap are the same food in our data at 368 calories per 200 g, so pick whichever name your shop uses. Gyro meat on its own is the denser choice at 318 calories and 835 mg sodium per 100 g, about 1.7 times the calories of the pita, so the bread and vegetables actually lighten the meal gram for gram.

This is a smaller slider-style sandwich with a different meat-to-bread ratio than the full sandwich above, so its label reads higher per 100 g. Source: manufacturer labels / USDA FoodData Central.
