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

Median across the 26 Lidl mince products with usable figures is 16.6g of protein per 100 calories. That is ahead of the 15.5g median for mince across every chain and brand in the database, which is 131 products.

22 clear 10g of protein per 100 calories — most of them, and 10g is the line Keith uses for a food that pays for its calories.

The best Lidl option here reaches 23.2g of protein per 100 calories, which is as high as anything in the whole mince group gets.

Calories run from 99 to 400 per 100g across the Lidl mince range, a 4-fold spread, so “Lidl mince” on its own tells you almost nothing about what a portion costs you.

What to pick in Lidl

Most of this group already clears the benchmark, so the decision is price and taste rather than macros. LIDL Irish turkey breast mince 400 g tops the table at 23.2g of protein per 100 calories.

1 of the 26 carry 400 calories or more per 100g — the ones worth weighing rather than eyeballing.

Where this fits

Mince 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.
