Calories in Lidl Tomatoes (Ireland)

Lidl tomatoes ranked by protein density

Showing the top 50 of the 76 Lidl tomatoes products that carry a comparable calorie figure, ranked by protein per 100 calories.

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

Median across the 76 Lidl tomatoes products with usable figures is 3.8g of protein per 100 calories. That is level with the 4g median for tomatoes across all 680 products in the database, chains and name brands together.

Not one of them clears 10g of protein per 100 calories, which is the line Keith uses for a food that pays for its calories.

Of the three chains carrying enough tomatoes to compare, Lidl comes second, behind Aldi on 5g.

The best Lidl option here reaches 8.1g of protein per 100 calories; somewhere in the wider tomatoes group something reaches 10.3g, so Lidl is not where the ceiling is.

Calories run from 20 to 422 per 100g across the Lidl tomatoes range, a 21-fold spread, so “Lidl tomatoes” on its own tells you almost nothing about what a portion costs you.

What to pick in Lidl

Nothing here is a protein food, so treat it as calories. At a median of 3.8g of protein per 100 calories this group is a taste and energy decision, not a macro one.

1 of the 76 carry 400 calories or more per 100g — the ones worth weighing rather than eyeballing.

Where this fits

Tomatoes 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.
