Calories in Protein Powder (Ireland)

Protein Powder ranked by protein density

Showing the top 50 of the 638 protein powder 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 protein powder numbers show

Median across all 638 of them is 19.8g of protein per 100 calories. 598 clear 10g of protein per 100 calories — most of them, and 10g is the line Keith uses for a food that pays for its calories.

Calories run from 33 to 480 per 100g inside this one group, a 15-fold spread, so “protein powder” on its own tells you almost nothing about what a portion costs you.

Every one of these is a name brand — no Irish chain sells its own protein powder.

What to actually pick

Most of this group already clears the benchmark, so the decision is price and taste rather than macros. Bulk Powders Unflavoured Pure Whey Isolate 97 Protein Powder 500g tops the table at 26.2g of protein per 100 calories.

94 of the 638 carry 400 calories or more per 100g — the ones worth weighing rather than eyeballing.

Where this fits

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 free calorie tracker.
