is it?
Re: ~! Shawarma healthy?
it depends…if ur making it from home..using chicken breast…then yes…
if ur getting it from a restaurant…then not really 
you dont know what kind of meat they are giving u..usually it’s cheap meat the kind that is mixed with every part of the lamb or chicken. Eating red meat often isnt healthy for you anyway.
Re: ~! Shawarma healthy?
I amd iong weight watchers, and whenever there is a discussion about Shawarma it is always recommending that the restuarant shawarma be avoided because it is so unhealthy. Because of the fat dripping down over the meat as it turns. Weight watchers uses a point system...and 1 cup of shawarma meat is 11 pts... to put that in perspective, im only supposed to eat 22 pts in a day..
Re: ~! Shawarma healthy?
YUCKY
Re: ~! Shawarma healthy?
what about gyros????
Re: ~! Shawarma healthy?
oh yea and i forgot the mention the fat drippings lol
Re: ~! Shawarma healthy?
gyros are even worse....they are saturated with fat (the frozen kind for 6 slices is like 22 grams worth of saturated fat..if i recall correctly)
also gyro meat is dark meat..from ALL parts of the lamb...which is a def no-no!
Re: ~! Shawarma healthy?
Gyros are worst than shawarma. If you just heat 2 gyro pieces in pan without even 1 drop of oil, you will find a table spoon full of oil after heating… no kidding 
Re: ~! Shawarma healthy?
very true! tastes good…but is so bad for u.
i always feel guilty after eating one
Re: ~! Shawarma healthy?
yeah gyros used to make me feel heavy whever i ate them.they are loaded with cholestrol.same goes for shawarma if its lamb meat we are talking about.
Re: ~! Shawarma healthy?
^ In our mosque on Fridays, Beef Sharwams are also available ....those are not that bad ....
Re: ~! Shawarma healthy?
if one is young with a fast metabolism they dont have to worry bout it too much.red meat is good for maintaing high testosterone levels.so go eat it

Re: ~! Shawarma healthy?
shawarma and gyro 
… i want some 
Re: ~! Shawarma healthy?
young kids can get high cholestrol as well.....they can get the same nutrients in other things....eating red meat everyday is not good.
Re: ~! Shawarma healthy?
aren’t gyros and shawarma the same thing:confused: ???
atleast i thought they are:bummer: , until now:confused:
Re: ~! Shawarma healthy?
i love shawarma:yummy: , chicken shawarma that is!..don’t eat beef or mutton 
!
Re: ~! Shawarma healthy?
shawarma especiallt beef or cicken is healthier than most stuff desis eat just get it on whole weat pita rather than white.
now shawarma is not as healthy as one of dem special subway subs, but compared to paratha roll/kebab roll, burgers, chicken makhani and siri paye, its def much healthier.
Re: ~! Shawarma healthy?
WEll my shawarma usually consists of Chicken Breast, lettuce, tomatoes, onioins, and a pita.
