Showing the top 50 of the 135 Lidl vegan & vegetarian products that carry a comparable calorie figure, ranked by protein per 100 calories.

What Lidl's vegan & vegetarian looks like next to everyone else's

Median across the 135 Lidl vegan & vegetarian products with usable figures is 2.3g of protein per 100 calories. That is behind the 4.3g median for vegan & vegetarian across every chain and brand in the database, which is 636 products.

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

The best Lidl option here reaches 13.5g of protein per 100 calories; somewhere in the wider vegan & vegetarian group something reaches 16g, so Lidl is not where the ceiling is.

Calories run from 42 to 667 per 100g across the Lidl vegan & vegetarian range, a 16-fold spread, so “Lidl vegan & vegetarian” on its own tells you almost nothing about what a portion costs you.

What to pick in Lidl

Most of what is sold as vegan & vegetarian is not a protein food. The 11 that clear 10g per 100 calories sit at the top of the table and are the exceptions, not the rule.

14 of the 135 carry 400 calories or more per 100g — the ones worth weighing rather than eyeballing.

Where this fits

Vegan & Vegetarian 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 free calorie tracker.

FAQ

How many vegan & vegetarian products does Lidl have?

We track 135 Lidl vegan & vegetarian products with full label figures. 135 of them carry 20 calories or more per 100g, so those are the ones ranked and averaged here; 11 clear 10g of protein per 100 calories.

Is Lidl the best place to buy vegan & vegetarian?

On protein per calorie alone, Lidl's median is 2.3g against 4.3g for vegan & vegetarian across every chain and brand we track. That is one number out of several — price and taste are not in this database — but it is the one nobody prints on the shelf.
