Showing the top 50 of the 261 chips & fries 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 chips & fries numbers show
Median across all 261 of them is 1.5g 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 68 to 544 per 100g inside this one group, an 8-fold spread, so “chips & fries” 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 1.6g of protein per 100 calories across 79 products, against 1.5g for the 182 name-brand ones.
Lidl is the only Irish chain with enough own-label chips & fries to compare fairly — 47 products at a median of 1.5g per 100 calories. Everywhere else this is a name-brand shelf.
What to actually pick
Most of what is sold as chips & fries 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.
76 of the 261 carry 400 calories or more per 100g — the ones worth weighing rather than eyeballing.
Where this fits
Only one chain carries enough of this own-label to break out separately, so Lidl Chips & Fries is the one sub-page here, next to everything else Lidl sells.
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.
Real chips & fries products with a photo
Real barcode-matched products with a confirmed photo — the same rule as Calories in Ireland: a photo only shows where we have a confirmed Open Food Facts match, never a guessed stock image.

FAQ
How many chips & fries products are in this database?
We track 261 chips & fries products across Irish supermarkets and brands. 261 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 chips & fries 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 1.5g per 100 calories and 1 products clear 10g — that tells you whether chips & fries is worth buying for protein at all, which protein per 100g does not.
