Shawarama, nutrition too good to be true?

I love shawaramas, I usually eat at Osmow's (popular Shawarma chain), they have their nutritional information posted online.
For a regular sized chicken shawarma wrap, all vegetables, NO garlic sauce/ tahini.
The macros are:
Calories: 275
Carbs: 16g
Fats: 6g
Protein: 40g
These things are pretty big, and the nutritional break down is looking like the best gym food.
But it doesn't seem right to me. 16g of carbs for a pita?! In a what world?
Anyone want to throw in their two cents?

Make sure that one sandwich isn’t considered to be two servings. That does sound too good to be true.3

If the pita bread is cut in half, then it could be possible.0

You know what, i didnt even think of that!
1 serving is ~200g, the shawarmas are pretty hefty. Think there might be 2 servings per order. (whyyyyy do this Osmows!)
Ill weight it next time.JessAndreia wrote: »
That's with their garlic sauce, if you don't add it, you can knock off 270 cal.
They have a PDF with the breakdown of all the macros for meat, veggies, pita, and sauce.0
