What Spar's chicken looks like next to everyone else's

Median across the 21 Spar chicken products with usable figures is 18.9g of protein per 100 calories. That is ahead of the 8.9g median for chicken across every chain and brand in the database, which is 1,867 products.

14 clear 10g of protein per 100 calories — about one in two, and 10g is the line Keith uses for a food that pays for its calories.

The best Spar option here reaches 22.6g of protein per 100 calories; somewhere in the wider chicken group something reaches 24g, so Spar is not where the ceiling is.

Calories run from 106 to 258 per 100g across the Spar chicken range, a 2-fold spread, so “Spar chicken” on its own tells you almost nothing about what a portion costs you.

What to pick in Spar

Most of this group already clears the benchmark, so the decision is price and taste rather than macros. SPAR Chicken Fillets 450g tops the table at 22.6g of protein per 100 calories.

Nothing in here passes 400 calories per 100g, so portion size matters less than it does in the snack aisles.

Where this fits

Chicken across every Irish store is the wider group this sits in, and everything else Spar sells is the other half of the comparison.

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 item rather than a shortlist, the 20,000-product database is searchable on Calories in Ireland and built into the calorie app.

Is Spar the best place to buy chicken?
