Showing the top 25 of the 25 Centra sausages & bacon products that carry a comparable calorie figure, ranked by protein per 100 calories.
Median across the 25 Centra sausages & bacon products with usable figures is 8.1g of protein per 100 calories. That is ahead of the 5.3g median for sausages & bacon across every chain and brand in the database, which is 836 products.
3 clear 10g of protein per 100 calories — about one in eight, and 10g is the line Keith uses for a food that pays for its calories.
Of the five chains carrying enough sausages & bacon to compare, Centra comes second, behind SuperValu on 8.3g.
The best Centra option here reaches 22.4g of protein per 100 calories, which is as high as anything in the whole sausages & bacon group gets.
Calories run from 98 to 524 per 100g across the Centra sausages & bacon range, a 5-fold spread, so “Centra sausages & bacon” on its own tells you almost nothing about what a portion costs you.
On the numbers the pick is Centra 6 Unsmoked Turkey Rashers 150g: 22.4g of protein per 100 calories, 2.8 times the 8.1g median for the group.
1 of the 25 carry 400 calories or more per 100g — the ones worth weighing rather than eyeballing.
Sausages & Bacon across every Irish store is the wider group this sits in, and everything else Centra sells is the other half of the comparison.
A protein-per-calorie number is only useful once you know the target, and that is how much protein a day actually works out to.
For one specific item rather than a shortlist, the 20,000-product database is searchable on Calories in Ireland and built into the free calorie tracker.
We track 25 Centra sausages & bacon products with full label figures. 25 of them carry 20 calories or more per 100g, so those are the ones ranked and averaged here; 3 clear 10g of protein per 100 calories.
On protein per calorie alone, Centra's median is 8.1g against 5.3g for sausages & bacon across every chain and brand we track. That is one number out of several — price and taste are not in this database — but it is the one nobody prints on the shelf.
