Default How healthy is grilled chicken & lamb shish from the kebab shop...?
 
For cutting purposes (fat loss)....

Without the pitta, just the salad with a bit of chilli sauce.

OK/Healthy to eat?

No. I had one a few hours ago, felt unhealthy as ****.

Edit: Although I was thinking of donor kebab. Shish kebab is better I reckon, but I strongly doubt either are 'healthy'.

Yeh, its basically 1 grilled lamb and 1 chicken skewer...I just had it, but I dont know if it was really unhealthy...?

Didnt have it with pitta, just the salad with a drizzle of chilli sauce. I guess ill go for a cardio session in 3 hours to burn it off lol...

how on earth are we supposed to know. take a picture of it, that may help. if the chicken has been processed then chances are its full of rubbish. donor kebabs are just plain unhealthy.

Unless there's something wrong with the place, I'd say kebab is junk food, though still much better than hamburgers.

I work in a kebab shop and can say that chicken/shish/kofte kebabs are all quite healthy and nutritious, not to mention tasty. Its the mountain of mayo that people put on kebabs that makes them unhealthy. Obviously the chicken and shish is marinaded in oil, but most of that is grilled off.

Stay away from donner though, we buy the high quality stuff (£30 for 10kg), but you can get donner as cheap as £15 for 10kg

depends how fatty the meat was, how processed the chicken, bla bla bla and of course how big the portion was. main for 1/3 protein, 1/3 carbs, 1/3 fresh veg. Sounds like you had 4/5 meat, 1/5 salad (which is mostly water anyway!)

What's the difference between the two? Obviously one is better than the other, but is the one more fatty than the other? Does the cheaper one have more 'offcuts'?

I mean on paper a donner kebab doesn't look too unhealthy, it's just meat in some bread, with salad.

Try full roast chickens (from the kebab shop). They are awesome

Doner kebab is definitely NOT HEALTHY.

What I am reffering to is the SHISH. Basically, its raw skewer of chicken breast and one skewer of lamb beat, GRILLED. I thought maybe they add some other products to make it fatenning.

From what I observed, they didnt add any oil, just grilled it straight away. Although not sure if they marinade in oil?
