Bread ranked by protein density

Showing the top 50 of the 799 bread 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, last checked 2026-09-18.

What the bread numbers show

Median across all 799 of them is 3.7g of protein per 100 calories. Exactly one clears 10g of protein per 100 calories, which is the line Keith uses for a food that pays for its calories.

Calories run from 58 to 499 per 100g inside this one group, a 9-fold spread, so “bread” on its own tells you almost nothing about what a portion costs you.

Own-brand is not the compromise here. The supermarket own-label median is 3.7g of protein per 100 calories across 160 products, against 3.7g for the 639 name-brand ones.

The chains are not equal on this: Dunnes Stores runs a median of 3.8g of protein per 100 calories across its 32 own-label bread products, Tesco 3.6g across 37.

What to actually pick

Most of what is sold as bread is not a protein food. Exactly one product clears 10g per 100 calories, and it sits at the top of the table — an exception, not a rule to shop by.

9 of the 799 carry 400 calories or more per 100g — the ones worth weighing rather than eyeballing.

Where this fits

That chain-by-chain gap is why the biggest ranges get their own page: Dunnes Stores Bread covers 32 products, and everything else Dunnes Stores sells sits alongside it.

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 calorie app.
