To burn it off
Souvlaki is small cubes of meat, usually pork, sometimes chicken, marinated in olive oil, lemon and oregano and grilled on a skewer. In Greece you get it on the stick or wrapped in a pita.
Two skewers are 330 kcal, with 34 g of protein, 20 g of fat and 3 g of carbs. On its own it's mostly protein, which makes it one of the leaner things at a grill house.
The extras are where it grows. A pita wrap comes with tzatziki, tomato, onion and often a few fries inside, and none of that is in the number above.
Tips
- 1Order the skewers with a Greek salad instead of the pita and fries.
- 2Pick chicken if you want it even leaner.
- 3Tzatziki is a good dip, it's yoghurt, just don't drown it.
