Showing the top 50 of the 175 gluten free 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 gluten free numbers show

Median across all 175 of them is 2.4g 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 27 to 545 per 100g inside this one group, a 20-fold spread, so “gluten free” 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 2.6g of protein per 100 calories across 20 products, against 2.4g for the 155 name-brand ones.

What to actually pick

Most of what is sold as gluten free 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.

15 of the 175 carry 400 calories or more per 100g — the ones worth weighing rather than eyeballing.

Where this fits

Front-of-pack claims on this stuff rarely match the back, so scan it with the label checker.

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 gluten free 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 gluten free products are in this database?

We track 175 gluten free products across Irish supermarkets and brands. 175 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 gluten free 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 2.4g per 100 calories and 1 products clear 10g — that tells you whether gluten free is worth buying for protein at all, which protein per 100g does not.
