Calories in Spar Foods (Ireland)

Spar products ranked by protein density

Showing the top 50 of the 335 Spar 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 Spar numbers show

Across the 335 Spar own-label products with usable label figures, the median is 4g of protein per 100 calories. 45 clear 10g of protein per 100 calories — about one in seven, and 10g is the line Keith uses for a food that pays for its calories.

That is second of the seven Irish chains we track: Lidl is just ahead on 4.7g, Dunnes Stores just behind on 3.6g.

Calories run from 22 to 900 per 100g across the Spar own-label range, a 41-fold spread, so “Spar own-label” on its own tells you almost nothing about what a portion costs you.

What to put in the Spar trolley

The single most protein-dense thing Spar puts its own name on is SPAR Tuna Steaks in a Little Spring Water 110g, at 23.8g of protein per 100 calories against the 4g store median.

68 of the 335 carry 400 calories or more per 100g — the ones worth weighing rather than eyeballing.

Where this fits

The strongest of those is broken out on its own page — Spar Chicken, 43 products — and the same category across every chain and brand is on Chicken in Ireland.

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.

To look up one specific Spar item rather than browse, the whole 20,000-product database is searchable on Calories in Ireland, and the same figures are in the free calorie tracker.
