Sandwiches ranked by protein density

Showing the top 50 of the 329 sandwiches 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 sandwiches numbers show

329 of the 330 sandwiches 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. 3 clear 10g of protein per 100 calories — about one in 110, and 10g is the line Keith uses for a food that pays for its calories.

Calories run from 53 to 514 per 100g inside this one group, a 10-fold spread, so “sandwiches” 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 4.5g of protein per 100 calories across 57 products, against 4.3g for the 272 name-brand ones.

Spar is the only Irish chain with enough own-label sandwiches to compare fairly — 28 products at a median of 4.8g per 100 calories. Everywhere else this is a name-brand shelf.

What to actually pick

Most of what is sold as sandwiches is not a protein food. The 3 that clear 10g per 100 calories sit at the top of the table and are the exceptions, not the rule.

23 of the 329 carry 400 calories or more per 100g — the ones worth weighing rather than eyeballing.
