Energy Drinks ranked by protein density

Showing the top 50 of the 116 energy drinks 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, last checked 2026-09-18.

What the energy drinks numbers show

116 of the 120 energy drinks 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 0g of protein per 100 calories. Not one of them clears 10g of protein per 100 calories, which is the line Keith uses for a food that pays for its calories.

Calories run from 21 to 475 per 100g inside this one group, a 23-fold spread, so “energy drinks” on its own tells you almost nothing about what a portion costs you.

This is a name-brand group: only 2 of the 116 are supermarket own-label, too few to compare the two fairly.

What to actually pick

Nothing here is a protein food, so treat it as calories. At a median of 0g of protein per 100 calories this group is a taste and energy decision, not a macro one.

1 of the 116 carry 400 calories or more per 100g — the ones worth weighing rather than eyeballing.

Where this fits

Drinks are the easiest thing in a day to miss, so this pairs with the calories people forget to count.

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.
