Can I eat Chicken Shawarma Wrap and still lose weight?

How long does it take to burn off Chicken Shawarma Wrap?
About 110 minutes of brisk walking for a 75 kg adult. It's easier to adjust the portion than to try to burn it off, which is why we build favourite foods into our clients' plans.
What is the highest-calorie part of a shawarma?
The garlic sauce (toum). It is mostly oil, so two spoonfuls can add 150 kcal or more. Asking for it on the side is the easiest swap.
Is a shawarma plate better than a wrap?
Usually not. A shawarma plate with fries, rice and garlic sauce is often 900–1,100 kcal, almost double the wrap. If you order the plate, ask for salad instead of fries.
