Vegan & Vegetarian ranked by protein density

Showing the top 50 of the 951 vegan & vegetarian 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, last checked 2026-09-18.

What the vegan & vegetarian numbers show

Median across all 951 of them is 4.9g of protein per 100 calories. 193 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.

Calories run from 29 to 728 per 100g inside this one group, a 25-fold spread, so “vegan & vegetarian” on its own tells you almost nothing about what a portion costs you.

Name brands do lead this one: 5.2g of protein per 100 calories at the median across 799 products, against 2.5g for the 152 own-label ones.

Lidl is the only Irish chain with enough own-label vegan & vegetarian to compare fairly — 135 products at a median of 2.4g per 100 calories. Everywhere else this is a name-brand shelf.

What to actually pick

Most of what is sold as vegan & vegetarian is not a protein food. The 193 that clear 10g per 100 calories sit at the top of the table and are the exceptions, not the rule.

74 of the 951 carry 400 calories or more per 100g — the ones worth weighing rather than eyeballing.

Where this fits

Only one chain carries enough of this own-label to break out separately, so Lidl Vegan & Vegetarian is the one sub-page here, next to everything else Lidl sells.

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.
