We prove that the mean Euler characteristic of a Gorenstein toric contact manifold, that is, a good toric contact manifold with zero 1st Chern class, is equal to half the normalized volume of the corresponding toric diagram and give some applications. A particularly interesting one, obtained using a result of Batyrev and Dais, is the following: twice the mean Euler characteristic of a Gorenstein toric contact manifold is equal to the Euler characteristic of any crepant toric symplectic filling, that is, any toric symplectic filling with zero 1st Chern class.
