How Many Calories in Chicken Shawarma?

1 plate (~250 g meat) has about 450 calories.

Why estimates miss: Chicken Shawarma is a multi-ingredient dish. Garlic toum or tahini sauce and any pita add notable calories on top of the meat. Generic calorie apps undercount the hidden oil, sauce and portion — CalDesk AI's photo estimate is tuned to catch exactly this.
