Calories in a gyro at the fair!


Question: Calories in a gyro at the fair
I ate a gyro at the state fair today!. It had what appeared to be a reasonable amount of meat (not spilling out overflowing) and about a tbsp of the sauce!. Again, not the usual messy mess eating a gyro can be!. And of course lettuce tomatoes and onions!.
What I want to know is did I still eat my entire calories and fat for the day!? Because I don't really want to eat a salad for dinner again tonight!. :-(Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
As much as I love salad, I too have my limits!. Ya know!.!.!. we can't un-do something we ate, but you can make adjustments and still enjoy your evening meal!. The gyro isn't the healthiest thing you can eat but you were at a state fair after all!. Having a gyro when going to a fair is almost law!. So put that behind you and don't worry about the calories, or counting them!. How about a veggie of some sort with a small grilled chicken breast half for dinner, and you can skip the salad, or have a little one on the side!. Brush the chicken with a little olive oil, add some herbs and spices, and grill!. Or a turkey burger with peppers & onions!.!.!.!. very few calories there, but tasty and healthy!. Don't forget to get creative with your salads too, so they don't get boring!. Nuts are healthy, tuna, chicken, salmon!.!.!. all great in/on a salad!. If you have a Trader Joe's near you!.!.!. they have an amazing reduced fat Irish cheddar that I love in my salads!. It's nothing like that processed Cracker Barrl crappola reduced fat thing they call "cheese"!.

You'll be fine!.!.!. use common sense, and you'll enjoy your dinner!.!.!. low cal and all!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You forgot to say what it was not spilling out of!. Assuming it was pitta bread, then that would add to the calories!. Gyros and d?ner kebab are spit roasted and any fat will normally drip out before you eat it!. Traditionally the sauce is yogurt based, so a tablespoon wouldn't amount to much!.
I prefer my d?ner kebab in that thin crêpe-like wrapper (dürüm)!. If you're really calorie conscious try that next time!. Got to be less than a BIGMac!Www@FoodAQ@Com

When you're eating your salad just think about how great the gyro was!. Yes, you are done for the day, but I am sure it was worth it!. How about just cucumbers and tomatoes!. I like them with salt, pepper and a little balsamic vinegar!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

the one that you ate at that state fair has exactly 1000 carlories in it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
