One sandwich is 368 calories, two is 736
A standard gyro sandwich of 200 g lands at 368 calories, about 18% of a 2,000-calorie daily value. That is a solid lunch, not a light snack and not a blowout. A smaller 6 oz portion of 170 g drops the total to 313 calories, with 19.1 g of protein and 549 mg of sodium.
The trouble starts when the sandwich becomes a habit at the same meal. Two sandwiches reach 736 calories and 1,292 mg of sodium. Three climb to 1,104 calories and 1,938 mg of sodium, which is most of a day's sodium in one sitting.
Because the gyro is built by hand, the 200 g figure is a reference, not a promise. Extra meat, a thicker pita or a heavy pour of sauce all push the weight up, and the calories follow the grams. If you can weigh it or estimate the size against a 6 oz portion, your log will be far closer to reality.
Carbs lead, protein holds a quarter
The calorie split is more balanced than most handheld meals. Carbs supply 42% of the calories, fat 34% and protein 25%. Per 100 g that works out to 18.8 g of carbs, 6.8 g of fat and 11.2 g of protein.
The pita is the main carb source, which is why one sandwich carries 37.6 g of carbs but only 2 g of fiber and 3.5 g of sugars. That is starch, not sweetness. The fat, 13.5 g per sandwich, comes mostly from the meat and the sauce, and saturated fat sits at 2.5 g per 100 g.
Protein is the quiet strength here. At 22.5 g per sandwich, a gyro covers close to half the daily value for protein, which is more than many sandwiches of similar size manage. If your goal is staying full on a moderate calorie count, that share of protein works in your favor.
Sodium is the row to watch
Per 100 g a gyro sandwich has 323 mg of sodium, so a full sandwich reaches 646 mg. That is 28% of the daily value from one item, before fries, pickles or a salty drink join the tray. Seasoned, cured-style gyro meat and a salted pita both add to the count.
Calories stay reasonable while sodium builds faster. One sandwich takes 18% of the calorie daily value but 28% of the sodium daily value. If you watch sodium, treat the gyro as the salty anchor of the day and keep the other meals plainer.
Cholesterol is modest at 29 mg per 100 g, and potassium adds 205 mg per 100 g. Neither changes the picture much. Sodium is the line that deserves your attention.
A gyro fits lunch with room to spare
At 368 calories, one gyro sandwich leaves space in most eating days. The smart move is to pair it with something that adds fiber and volume rather than more starch and salt. A side of raw vegetables, a simple salad or fruit fills the gap left by just 2 g of fiber.
Fries and a second pita are where the meal gets away from you. They add calories and sodium without adding much protein. If you want a bigger meal, a larger salad does more for fullness than a second sandwich.
Packaged versions exist too, such as Opaa! Precooked Chicken Gyro in Pita Flatbread With Honey Mustard Sauce, and their numbers can differ from a deli gyro. If you eat one often, BodyPal can log it from a photo so the portion lands in your diary without guesswork.
How does gyro sandwich compare?
Here is how a gyro sandwich stacks up against gyro meat, a chicken gyro and a ham and cheese sandwich, per 100 g and per usual serving.
Verdict: For the lowest calorie density pick the gyro sandwich or chicken gyro at 184 per 100 g, since plain gyro meat runs 318 per 100 g with 25.9 g of fat and 835 mg of sodium. A ham and cheese sandwich looks close at 288 per serving, but its 716 mg of sodium per 100 g makes the gyro the better sandwich if you watch salt.
