Lidl products ranked by protein density

Showing the top 50 of the 3,854 Lidl 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 Lidl numbers show

Across the 3,854 Lidl own-label products with usable label figures, the median is 5g of protein per 100 calories. 1,008 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.

That is the highest median of the seven Irish chains we track — Dunnes Stores sits at 3.8g, so the gap across the chains is real but smaller than the branding suggests.

Inside Lidl it is concentrated, not spread: turkey runs a median of 21.5g of protein per 100 calories across 45 products, and only three other aisles get past 14.1g.

Calories run from 20 to 817 per 100g across the Lidl own-label range, a 41-fold spread, so “Lidl own-label” on its own tells you almost nothing about what a portion costs you.

What to put in the Lidl trolley

Shop it by aisle, not by brand. In Lidl the protein per calorie sits in turkey (21.5g), ham (17.4g) and steak (14.8g). Past that it drops away, and the rest of the shop is a calorie decision rather than a protein one.

The single most protein-dense thing Lidl puts its own name on is Lidl Suprema de atun, at 24.4g of protein per 100 calories against the 5g store median.

298 of the 3,854 carry 400 calories or more per 100g — the ones worth weighing rather than eyeballing.

Where this fits

The strongest of those is broken out on its own page — Lidl Turkey, 45 products — and the same category across every chain and brand is on Turkey in Ireland.

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.

To look up one specific Lidl item rather than browse, the whole 20,000-product database is searchable on Calories in Ireland, and the same figures are in the calorie app.
