Checking this because you’re trying to lose fat?

Scan your own shop with FoodSussed: calories and macros from the barcode, plus an estimated processing level from 1 to 4 with the reasons. Or start with the fat-loss guide built around Irish food.

What the pork numbers show

Median across all 637 of them is 6.4g of protein per 100 calories. 147 clear 10g of protein per 100 calories — about one in four, and 10g is the line Keith uses for a food that pays for its calories.

Calories run from 73 to 596 per 100g inside this one group, an 8-fold spread, so “pork” 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 7g of protein per 100 calories across 302 products, against 5.9g for the 335 name-brand ones.

The chains are not equal on this: Tesco runs a median of 7.2g of protein per 100 calories across its 34 own-label pork products, Dunnes Stores 3.8g across 25.

What to actually pick

On the numbers the pick is Richard Togher Pork Fillet 616g: 22.1g of protein per 100 calories, 3.5 times the 6.4g median for the group.

22 of the 637 carry 400 calories or more per 100g — the ones worth weighing rather than eyeballing.

Where this fits

The Tesco comparison above covers 34 own-label pork products. For other aisles, browse Tesco foods by protein per calorie.

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 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 calorie app.

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.

FAQ

How many pork products are in this database?

We track 637 pork products across Irish supermarkets and brands. 637 of them carry 20 calories or more per 100g, which is the point below which protein per 100 calories stops being a real number, so those are the ones ranked and averaged here.

What's the most protein-dense pork product?

The table is sorted highest protein per 100 calories first, so the answer is the top row. The more useful number is that the median for the whole group is 6.4g per 100 calories and 147 products clear 10g — that tells you whether pork is worth buying for protein at all, which protein per 100g does not.
