Gyros meat
 

Does anyone know if there are carbs in this and how many? I can't seem to find any carb info regarding gyros meat.

I believe that traditionally, this should just be roasted lamb. If it's plain meat with no gravy or sauce, it should be safe--even the sour cream and cucumbers often served with it should be LC. However, who knows what a fast-food vendor might be serving us, eh? Always ask, and hope you're getting a true answer.

HTH. Maybe some expert Greek cook will help you out further. :)

Thanks so much for your insight! I did eat it - it was delicious! :roll:

Hey there fellow Chicagoan! Glad you brought up that topic, that'd be a great choice for going out with the gang to the little hot dog/hambuger joints. Looks like we even started the diet on the same day! Best of luck to you!

Hey, you have to get creative to be successful, right? Good luck to you as well. Have a great week!

Re: Gyros meat
 

Hi, I worked in a Greek restaurant for many years and was told that gyros (at least there) was a combination of lamb and beef. I love gyros, but just wondering how they combine lamb and beef to make a different type of meat is kind of a scary thought. Who knows what else is added to it. I personally am staying away from it on this diet. I do know that the tzatzki sauce is low carb though.

I eat Gyros!
 

I've been eating gyros every week since I started...

...and I'm down 57lbs. I order the gyros plate which includes the meat, some tomatoes, onion, yogurt based sauce (I only eat a little of this). I order mine with a salad, too. :thup:

I think you can find the stats on the meat on fitday.com

Good luck and enjoy!

Most traditional gyro places spin the meat on a Rotisserie (sp) or sorts. I looks almost layered so that must be what they mean by combining beef and lamb.

Hi,

I had a gyro tonight with no onion, pita or tomato. If you have lost that much weight and been eating it, it must be ok. I guess I will find out tomorrow. My weight has not moved for the last few days (11 pounds total). I have been drinking a lot of diet sprite, so maybe this is the problem. I also MUST have coffee in the morning. If I give up the diet sprite and I am still not losing, I will probably give up the coffee. Well, thanks for letting me know about the gyro. It is something I really like to eat, so as long as I don't gain. I will keep eating it. Thanks again!!!!
