One gyro is a 368-calorie meal
The standard serving here is one gyro of 200 g. That comes to 368 calories, 22.5 g of protein, 37.6 g of carbs and 13.5 g of fat, or 18% of the daily calorie value. For a single sandwich in a pita, that is a real meal, not a snack.
A smaller 6 oz portion of 170 g drops to 313 calories, 19.1 g of protein and 549 mg of sodium. Gyros are built by hand, so the meat, sauce and pita shift from one order to the next. If yours looks bigger or smaller than usual, the 184 calories per 100 g figure is the one to scale from.
Doubling up is where the total climbs fast. Two gyros reach 736 calories and 1,292 mg of sodium. Three hit 1,104 calories and 1,938 mg, and five add up to 1,840 calories with 3,230 mg of sodium. Protein rises too, to 45 g for two and 67.4 g for three, but the sodium grows faster than most people expect.
Carbs lead, but fat is a third of it
Split by calories, a lamb gyro is 42% carbs, 34% fat and 25% protein. The carbs come mostly from the pita: 18.8 g per 100 g, or 37.6 g in one gyro. Sugar stays low at 3.5 g per gyro, and fiber is modest at 2 g.
Fat is the part that swings. Per 100 g there are 6.8 g of fat, 2.5 g of it saturated, which works out to 13.5 g of fat in one gyro. That is far leaner than the meat on its own, because bread dilutes it. Extra sauce or a side of fries moves the fat share up quickly.
Protein is the strong row. At 11.2 g per 100 g and 22.5 g per gyro, one sandwich covers 45% of the daily protein value. That makes a gyro a more filling lunch than its calorie count alone suggests, as long as the portion stays at one.
Sodium is the row to watch
One gyro delivers 646 mg of sodium, 28% of the daily value, against only 18% of daily calories. That gap is the signal: the sandwich is saltier than it is caloric. Seasoned meat, pita and sauce all contribute, and none of them taste especially salty on their own.
Per 100 g the figure is 323 mg, or 14% of the daily value. The 6 oz portion carries 549 mg, which is 24%. If you watch sodium, one gyro is easy to fit into a day; two, at 1,292 mg, take a large share of it before anything else is eaten.
The other rows are calmer. Cholesterol sits at 29 mg per 100 g, saturated fat at 2.5 g, and potassium at 205 mg. None of those stand out for a fast-food sandwich, which is why sodium deserves the attention.
Pair it with crunch, not fries
At 368 calories, a lamb gyro leaves room in most days for a side. What you choose decides whether the meal stays moderate. A fresh salad, sliced cucumber or raw vegetables add volume and fiber for few calories, and they do not stack more sodium onto an already salty plate.
Fries or a second pita change the picture. They push the carb and fat share higher and turn a single sandwich into a heavy meal. If you want more protein, a larger portion of meat is not the leanest route: gyro meat on its own runs 318 calories and 25.9 g of fat per 100 g.
Logging helps because gyros vary so much by shop. BodyPal can log a lamb gyro from a photo, and you can then adjust the grams to match what was actually on your plate.
How does lamb gyro compare?
Here is a lamb gyro next to a generic gyro, a chicken gyro and plain gyro meat, compared per 100 g and per usual serving.
Verdict: As sandwiches, lamb, chicken and generic gyros share the same 184 calories and 323 mg of sodium per 100 g in this data, so pick by taste. If you count calories, skip the meat-only plate: gyro meat runs 318 calories, 25.9 g of fat and 835 mg of sodium per 100 g, about 1.7 times the sandwich.
