Calories in Lidl Curry (Ireland)

Lidl curry ranked by protein density

Showing the top 50 of the 59 Lidl curry products that carry a comparable calorie figure, ranked by protein per 100 calories.

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

Median across the 59 Lidl curry products with usable figures is 5g of protein per 100 calories. That is ahead of the 3.6g median for curry across every chain and brand in the database, which is 292 products.

8 clear 10g of protein per 100 calories — about one in seven, and 10g is the line Keith uses for a food that pays for its calories.

The best Lidl option here reaches 19.4g of protein per 100 calories, which is as high as anything in the whole curry group gets.

Calories run from 48 to 382 per 100g across the Lidl curry range, an 8-fold spread, so “Lidl curry” 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 Birchwood Tikka Chicken Sizzle Steaks 350g: 19.4g of protein per 100 calories, 3.9 times the 5g median for the group.

Nothing in here passes 400 calories per 100g, so portion size matters less than it does in the snack aisles.

Where this fits

Curry across every Irish store is the wider group this sits in, and everything else Lidl sells is the other half of the comparison.

If the real question is what to put on the plate, there is a week of Irish meals with the numbers already done.
