Calories in Steak (Ireland)

Steak ranked by protein density

Showing the top 50 of the 360 steak 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 steak numbers show

Median across all 360 of them is 12.1g of protein per 100 calories. 238 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.

Calories run from 43 to 586 per 100g inside this one group, a 14-fold spread, so “steak” 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 13.4g of protein per 100 calories across 300 products, against 3.2g for the 60 name-brand ones.

The chains are not equal on this: Lidl runs a median of 14.7g of protein per 100 calories across its 206 own-label steak products, Dunnes Stores 10.9g across 27.

What to actually pick

Most of this group already clears the benchmark, so the decision is price and taste rather than macros. Lidl Birchwood 3 Turkey Breast Steaks 374g tops the table at 23.2g of protein per 100 calories.

10 of the 360 carry 400 calories or more per 100g — the ones worth weighing rather than eyeballing.

Where this fits

That chain-by-chain gap is why the biggest ranges get their own page: Lidl Steak covers 206 products, and everything else Lidl sells sits alongside it.

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.

Real barcode-matched products with a confirmed photo — the same rule as Calories in Ireland: a photo only shows where we have a confirmed Open Food Facts match, never a guessed stock image.
