Lidl sausages & bacon ranked by protein density

Showing the top 50 of the 207 Lidl sausages & bacon products that carry a comparable calorie figure, ranked by protein per 100 calories.

What Lidl's sausages & bacon looks like next to everyone else's

Median across the 207 Lidl sausages & bacon products with usable figures is 6.2g of protein per 100 calories. That is ahead of the 5.3g median for sausages & bacon across every chain and brand in the database, which is 836 products.

45 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.

Of the five chains carrying enough sausages & bacon to compare, Lidl comes fifth, behind SuperValu on 8.3g.

The best Lidl option here reaches 22.1g of protein per 100 calories, which is as high as anything in the whole sausages & bacon group gets.

Calories run from 96 to 532 per 100g across the Lidl sausages & bacon range, a 6-fold spread, so “Lidl sausages & bacon” 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 Glensallagh 8 Unsmoked Turkey Rashers 200g: 22.1g of protein per 100 calories, 3.6 times the 6.2g median for the group.

6 of the 207 carry 400 calories or more per 100g — the ones worth weighing rather than eyeballing.

Where this fits

Sausages & Bacon 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.
