Showing the top 49 of the 49 bagels products that carry a comparable calorie figure, ranked by protein per 100 calories. Figures per label, sourced from Open Food Facts and tracker user logs.

What the bagels numbers show

Median across all 49 of them is 3.8g of protein per 100 calories. Not one of them clears 10g of protein per 100 calories, which is the line Keith uses for a food that pays for its calories.

Calories run from 211 to 335 per 100g inside this one group, a 2-fold spread, so “bagels” on its own tells you almost nothing about what a portion costs you.

Name brands do lead this one: 3.8g of protein per 100 calories at the median across 33 products, against 3.7g for the 16 own-label ones.

What to actually pick

Nothing here is a protein food, so treat it as calories. At a median of 3.8g of protein per 100 calories this group is a taste and energy decision, not a macro one.

Nothing in here passes 400 calories per 100g, so portion size matters less than it does in the snack aisles.

Where this fits

The practical half of this — counting calories without weighing everything.

For one specific product rather than the whole group, the 20,000-product database is searchable on Calories in Ireland, and the same figures are built into the free calorie tracker.

FAQ

How many bagels products are in this database?

We track 49 bagels products across Irish supermarkets and brands. 49 of them carry 20 calories or more per 100g, which is the point below which protein per 100 calories stops being a real number, so those are the ones ranked and averaged here.

What's the most protein-dense bagels product?

The table is sorted highest protein per 100 calories first, so the answer is the top row. The more useful number is that the median for the whole group is 3.8g per 100 calories and 0 products clear 10g — that tells you whether bagels is worth buying for protein at all, which protein per 100g does not.
