Ordering healthy at a Greek restaurant requires three simple steps: choose a grilled protein like chicken souvlaki or gyro meat, pair it with a vegetable-based side like Greek salad instead of extra rice or pita, and use sauces like tzatziki in moderation. At Little Greek Fresh Grill in Winter Garden, FL, this approach creates a high protein, low carb meal in under 550 calories.
If you are following a high protein or low carb eating plan, Little Greek Fresh Grill in Winter Garden makes it easy. Every dish is made to order, which means you can customize your meal to fit your goals; you just need to know what to ask for.
This step-by-step guide walks you through exactly how to build a high protein, low carb meal at Little Greek, with real menu items and pricing.
Step 1: Choose Your Protein Base
The foundation of a high protein, low carb meal is your protein choice. Here are the best options at Little Greek Fresh Grill, ranked by protein content:
- Chicken Souvlaki: Char-grilled chicken skewers; the leanest option, with an estimated 38g of protein per serving of 2 skewers ($14.49).
- Gyro Meat: Seasoned and slow-roasted; available as a platter over rice ($16.99) or as a 5oz side portion ($4.99).
- Steak Skewers: Char-grilled steak, 2 skewers with a side Greek salad ($15.99); a great option for higher iron intake.
- Salmon Skewers: 2 char-grilled salmon skewers with a side Greek salad ($17.99); the best option for omega-3 fatty acids.
For the exact protein, fat, and calorie counts of each option, check the Little Greek nutrition information page.

Step 2: Add a Vegetable-Based Side Instead of Extra Carbs
This is the step that makes the biggest difference for a low carb meal. Instead of choosing a pita, wrap, or large portion of rice, pair your protein with:
- Greek Salad ($10.99): Fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, olives, and feta; naturally low in carbs and high in fiber.
- Village Salad / Horiatiki ($11.99): No lettuce, just chunks of vegetables and feta; one of the lowest-carb options on the menu.
- Mini Greek Salad ($7.99): A smaller portion, perfect as a side to a protein skewer.
- Greek Potatoes ($3.75) in moderation: If you want a small carb addition, Greek potatoes are a better choice than fries or extra pita.
By swapping the standard side of rice or pita for a Greek Salad, you significantly reduce the carbohydrate content of your meal while increasing fiber and micronutrients.
Step 3: Use Sauces and Extras Strategically
Sauces add flavor, but they can also add calories quickly if you are not paying attention. Here is how to use them wisely:
- Tzatziki (2oz, $0.89): Made from yogurt, cucumber, and garlic; a healthy fat source in moderation. One portion is usually enough.
- Hummus (2oz, $1.49 or 4oz, $2.59): A great source of plant-based protein and fiber; pairs well with vegetables or as a side.
- Little Greek Dressing (2oz, $0.89): Use sparingly if you are tracking calories closely; ask for it on the side so you control the portion.
Feta Cheese (extra, $0.79): Adds flavor and healthy fats; a small extra portion is a great low carb addition to any salad.

Step 4: Check the Nutrition Page Before You Order
If you are tracking macros, calories, or following a specific eating plan such as keto, paleo, or a high protein diet, the Little Greek Winter Garden nutrition information page provides exact data for every menu item. This is one of the few fast casual restaurants in Winter Garden that offers this level of transparency.
