What the crisps & popcorn numbers show

390 of the 393 crisps & popcorn products carry 20 calories or more per 100g, which is the floor below which protein per 100 calories stops being a real number. Across those the median is 1.4g of protein per 100 calories. 4 clear 10g of protein per 100 calories — about one in 98, and 10g is the line Keith uses for a food that pays for its calories.

Calories run from 23 to 657 per 100g inside this one group, a 28-fold spread, so “crisps & popcorn” 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 1.4g of protein per 100 calories across 49 products, against 1.4g for the 341 name-brand ones.

What to actually pick

Most of what is sold as crisps & popcorn is not a protein food. The 4 that clear 10g per 100 calories sit at the top of the table and are the exceptions, not the rule.

310 of the 390 carry 400 calories or more per 100g — the ones worth weighing rather than eyeballing.

Where this fits

This is the aisle that quietly wrecks a calorie target, which is the whole point of where the calories actually hide.

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.

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 crisps & popcorn products are in this database?

We track 393 crisps & popcorn products across Irish supermarkets and brands. 390 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 crisps & popcorn 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 1.4g per 100 calories and 4 products clear 10g — that tells you whether crisps & popcorn is worth buying for protein at all, which protein per 100g does not.
