Calories in Lidl Sauces & Condiments (Ireland)

Lidl sauces & condiments ranked by protein density

Showing the top 50 of the 195 Lidl sauces & condiments products that carry a comparable calorie figure, ranked by protein per 100 calories.

What Lidl's sauces & condiments looks like next to everyone else's

Median across the 195 Lidl sauces & condiments products with usable figures is 1.4g of protein per 100 calories. That is level with the 1.6g median for sauces & condiments across all 1,175 products in the database, chains and name brands together.

15 clear 10g of protein per 100 calories — about one in 13, and 10g is the line Keith uses for a food that pays for its calories.

Of the five chains carrying enough sauces & condiments to compare, Lidl comes fourth, behind Dunnes Stores on 1.9g.

The best Lidl option here reaches 16.1g of protein per 100 calories; somewhere in the wider sauces & condiments group something reaches 17.3g, so Lidl is not where the ceiling is.

Calories run from 20 to 730 per 100g across the Lidl sauces & condiments range, a 36-fold spread, so “Lidl sauces & condiments” on its own tells you almost nothing about what a portion costs you.

What to pick in Lidl

Most of what is sold as sauces & condiments is not a protein food. The 15 that clear 10g per 100 calories sit at the top of the table and are the exceptions, not the rule.

22 of the 195 carry 400 calories or more per 100g — the ones worth weighing rather than eyeballing.

Where this fits

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

Front-of-pack claims on this stuff rarely match the back, so scan it with the label checker.
