What Dunnes Stores's sausages & bacon looks like next to everyone else's

8 clear 10g of protein per 100 calories — about one in four, and 10g is the line Keith uses for a food that pays for its calories.

The best Dunnes Stores option here reaches 15.6g of protein per 100 calories; somewhere in the wider sausages & bacon group something reaches 22.4g, so Dunnes Stores is not where the ceiling is.

Calories run from 125 to 348 per 100g across the Dunnes Stores sausages & bacon range, a 3-fold spread, so “Dunnes Stores sausages & bacon” on its own tells you almost nothing about what a portion costs you.

What to pick in Dunnes Stores

On the numbers the pick is Dunnes Stores Dry Cured Unsmoked Irish Bacon Medallions 200g: 15.6g of protein per 100 calories, 2.2 times the 7g median for the group.

Nothing in here passes 400 calories per 100g, so portion size matters less than it does in the snack aisles.

Where this fits

Sausages & Bacon 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.
