Calories in Noodles (Ireland)

Noodles ranked by protein density

Showing the top 50 of the 136 noodles products that carry a comparable calorie figure, ranked by protein per 100 calories. Figures per label, sourced from Open Food Facts and tracker user logs.

What the noodles numbers show

136 of the 140 noodles products carry 20 calories or more per 100g, which is the floor below which protein per 100 calories stops being a real number. Across those the median is 3.1g of protein per 100 calories. 2 clear 10g of protein per 100 calories — about one in 68, and 10g is the line Keith uses for a food that pays for its calories.

Calories run from 20 to 500 per 100g inside this one group, a 25-fold spread, so “noodles” on its own tells you almost nothing about what a portion costs you.

Own-brand is not the compromise here. The supermarket own-label median is 3.7g of protein per 100 calories across 32 products, against 2.2g for the 104 name-brand ones.

What to actually pick

Most of what is sold as noodles is not a protein food. The 2 that clear 10g per 100 calories sit at the top of the table and are the exceptions, not the rule.

2 of the 136 carry 400 calories or more per 100g — the ones worth weighing rather than eyeballing.

Where this fits

The practical half of this — counting calories without weighing everything.

For one specific product rather than the whole group, the 20,000-product database is searchable on Calories in Ireland, and the same figures are built into the free calorie tracker.

Real noodles products with a photo

Real barcode-matched products with a confirmed photo — the same rule as Calories in Ireland: a photo only shows where we have a confirmed Open Food Facts match, never a guessed stock image.
