Showing the top 50 of the 636 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.
636 of the 637 vegan & vegetarian 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 4.3g of protein per 100 calories. 102 clear 10g of protein per 100 calories — about one in six, and 10g is the line Keith uses for a food that pays for its calories.
Calories run from 39 to 728 per 100g inside this one group, a 19-fold spread, so “vegan & vegetarian” on its own tells you almost nothing about what a portion costs you.
Name brands do lead this one: 4.9g of protein per 100 calories at the median across 498 products, against 2.3g for the 138 own-label ones.
Lidl is the only Irish chain with enough own-label vegan & vegetarian to compare fairly — 135 products at a median of 2.3g per 100 calories. Everywhere else this is a name-brand shelf.
Most of what is sold as vegan & vegetarian is not a protein food. The 102 that clear 10g per 100 calories sit at the top of the table and are the exceptions, not the rule.
51 of the 636 carry 400 calories or more per 100g — the ones worth weighing rather than eyeballing.
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 free calorie tracker.
We track 637 vegan & vegetarian products across Irish supermarkets and brands. 636 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.
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 4.3g per 100 calories and 102 products clear 10g — that tells you whether vegan & vegetarian is worth buying for protein at all, which protein per 100g does not.
