Calories in Lidl Pork (Ireland)

Lidl pork ranked by protein density

Showing the top 50 of the 187 Lidl pork products that carry a comparable calorie figure, ranked by protein per 100 calories.

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

Median across the 187 Lidl pork products with usable figures is 6.6g of protein per 100 calories. That is ahead of the 5.5g median for pork across every chain and brand in the database, which is 446 products.

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

The best Lidl option here reaches 21.6g of protein per 100 calories, which is as high as anything in the whole pork group gets.

Calories run from 97 to 508 per 100g across the Lidl pork range, a 5-fold spread, so “Lidl pork” 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 10 Lean Pork Loin Medallions 1kg: 21.6g of protein per 100 calories, 3.3 times the 6.6g median for the group.

14 of the 187 carry 400 calories or more per 100g — the ones worth weighing rather than eyeballing.

Where this fits

Pork 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.
