Calories in SuperValu Beef (Ireland)

SuperValu beef ranked by protein density

Showing the top 32 of the 32 SuperValu beef products that carry a comparable calorie figure, ranked by protein per 100 calories.

What SuperValu's beef looks like next to everyone else's

Median across the 32 SuperValu beef products with usable figures is 11.4g of protein per 100 calories. That is ahead of the 8.7g median for beef across every chain and brand in the database, which is 493 products.

17 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.

Of the four chains carrying enough beef to compare, SuperValu comes third, behind Lidl on 13.5g.

The best SuperValu option here reaches 19.1g of protein per 100 calories; somewhere in the wider beef group something reaches 21.8g, so SuperValu is not where the ceiling is.

Calories run from 98 to 299 per 100g across the SuperValu beef range, a 3-fold spread, so “SuperValu beef” on its own tells you almost nothing about what a portion costs you.

What to pick in SuperValu

Most of this group already clears the benchmark, so the decision is price and taste rather than macros. SuperValu Lean Beef Minute Steak 300g tops the table at 19.1g 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

Beef across every Irish store is the wider group this sits in, and everything else SuperValu 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.
