Showing the top 33 of the 33 Dunnes Stores beef products that carry a comparable calorie figure, ranked by protein per 100 calories.
Median across the 33 Dunnes Stores beef products with usable figures is 13.5g of protein per 100 calories. That is ahead of the 8.7g median for beef across every chain and brand in the database, which is 493 products.
26 clear 10g of protein per 100 calories — most of them, and 10g is the line Keith uses for a food that pays for its calories.
Of the four chains carrying enough beef to compare, Dunnes Stores comes second, behind Lidl on 13.5g.
The best Dunnes Stores option here reaches 20.2g of protein per 100 calories; somewhere in the wider beef group something reaches 21.8g, so Dunnes Stores is not where the ceiling is.
Calories run from 109 to 253 per 100g across the Dunnes Stores beef range, a 2-fold spread, so “Dunnes Stores beef” on its own tells you almost nothing about what a portion costs you.
Most of this group already clears the benchmark, so the decision is price and taste rather than macros. Dunnes Stores Matured Irish Beef Low Fat Medallions 280g tops the table at 20.2g of protein per 100 calories.
Nothing in here passes 400 calories per 100g, so portion size matters less than it does in the snack aisles.
Beef across every Irish store is the wider group this sits in, and everything else Dunnes Stores 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.
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.






We track 33 Dunnes Stores beef products with full label figures. 33 of them carry 20 calories or more per 100g, so those are the ones ranked and averaged here; 26 clear 10g of protein per 100 calories.
On protein per calorie alone, Dunnes Stores's median is 13.5g against 8.7g for beef 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.
