What Lidl's cheddar looks like next to everyone else's

Median across the 38 Lidl cheddar products with usable figures is 6.1g of protein per 100 calories. That is level with the 6.1g median for cheddar across all 432 products in the database, chains and name brands together.

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.

Of the four chains carrying enough cheddar to compare, Lidl comes third, behind SuperValu on 6.7g.

The best Lidl option here reaches 6.2g of protein per 100 calories; somewhere in the wider cheddar group something reaches 11.5g, so Lidl is not where the ceiling is.

Calories run from 247 to 423 per 100g across the Lidl cheddar range, a 2-fold spread, so “Lidl cheddar” on its own tells you almost nothing about what a portion costs you.

What to pick in Lidl

On the numbers the pick is Lidl Deluxe Lockerbie Mature Coloured Cheddar Cheese 200g: 6.2g of protein per 100 calories, against a 6.1g median.

27 of the 38 carry 400 calories or more per 100g — the ones worth weighing rather than eyeballing.

Where this fits

Cheddar across every Irish store is the wider group this sits in, and everything else Lidl 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.

For one specific item rather than a shortlist, the 20,000-product database is searchable on Calories in Ireland and built into the calorie app.
