Calories in SuperValu Potatoes (Ireland)

SuperValu potatoes ranked by protein density

Showing the top 25 of the 25 SuperValu potatoes products that carry a comparable calorie figure, ranked by protein per 100 calories.

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

Median across the 25 SuperValu potatoes products with usable figures is 2g of protein per 100 calories. That is ahead of the 1.4g median for potatoes across every chain and brand in the database, which is 423 products.

Not one of them clears 10g of protein per 100 calories, which is the line Keith uses for a food that pays for its calories.

Of the two chains carrying enough potatoes to compare, SuperValu has the strongest own-label range; Lidl the weakest.

The best SuperValu option here reaches 3.4g of protein per 100 calories; somewhere in the wider potatoes group something reaches 6.7g, so SuperValu is not where the ceiling is.

Calories run from 72 to 193 per 100g across the SuperValu potatoes range, a 3-fold spread, so “SuperValu potatoes” on its own tells you almost nothing about what a portion costs you.

What to pick in SuperValu

Nothing here is a protein food, so treat it as calories. At a median of 2g of protein per 100 calories this group is a taste and energy decision, not a macro one.

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

Where this fits

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

The practical half of this — counting calories without weighing everything.
