Are you asking How do I find the calories in food if it's not on the label?
I bought a book at Barnes and Nobles which is real helpful. There is also a good website. http://www.calorie-count.com

Almost any food's calorie content can be found on Fitday. For something like a gyro which is a combination of stuff you may have to add multiple foods (the meat, the pita, sauce, etc) to find the totals.

Luckily for you they do have a general gyro calorie content table on Fitday but you never know how much meat/condiments each place put on their stuff so just use it as a reference point.
