What to pick in Lidl

Most of what is sold as pies & pastries is not a protein food. Exactly one product clears 10g per 100 calories, and it sits at the top of the table — an exception, not a rule to shop by.

6 of the 46 carry 400 calories or more per 100g — the ones worth weighing rather than eyeballing.

Where this fits

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

This is the aisle that quietly wrecks a calorie target, which is the whole point of where the calories actually hide.
