Ice Cream ranked by protein density

Showing the top 50 of the 438 ice cream 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 ice cream numbers show

Median across all 438 of them is 1.4g of protein per 100 calories. 3 clear 10g of protein per 100 calories — about one in 146, and 10g is the line Keith uses for a food that pays for its calories.

Calories run from 52 to 484 per 100g inside this one group, a 9-fold spread, so “ice cream” 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 85 products, against 1.4g for the 353 name-brand ones.

Lidl is the only Irish chain with enough own-label ice cream to compare fairly — 25 products at a median of 1.3g per 100 calories. Everywhere else this is a name-brand shelf.

What to actually pick

Most of what is sold as ice cream is not a protein food. The 3 that clear 10g per 100 calories sit at the top of the table and are the exceptions, not the rule.

2 of the 438 carry 400 calories or more per 100g — the ones worth weighing rather than eyeballing.

Where this fits

Only one chain carries enough of this own-label to break out separately, so Lidl Ice Cream is the one sub-page here, next to everything else Lidl sells.

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.
