Commercially prepared gyro sandwiches typically range between 400 and 650 calories and have 30 to 40 grams of total fat, depending on how they're prepared. The sodium content is also high, with 700 to 1,300 milligrams per sandwich, which is nearly the maximum amount of sodium you should consume per day. Gyros provide a hefty serving of protein, however, with 18 to 26 grams per sandwich. This sandwich isn't a major source of fiber or sugar. If you crave a gyro but are conscious about your diet, make your own sandwich, or see if your local restaurant serves small sandwiches.
