Calories in Sweets & Jellies (Ireland)

Sweets & Jellies ranked by protein density

Showing the top 50 of the 76 sweets & jellies 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 sweets & jellies numbers show

Median across all 76 of them is 0.6g of protein per 100 calories. 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.

Calories run from 83 to 464 per 100g inside this one group, a 6-fold spread, so “sweets & jellies” on its own tells you almost nothing about what a portion costs you.

This is a name-brand group: only 9 of the 76 are supermarket own-label, too few to compare the two fairly.

What to actually pick

Nothing here is a protein food, so treat it as calories. At a median of 0.6g of protein per 100 calories this group is a taste and energy decision, not a macro one.

20 of the 76 carry 400 calories or more per 100g — the ones worth weighing rather than eyeballing.

Where this fits

This is the aisle that quietly wrecks a calorie target, which is the whole point of where the calories actually hide.

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.
