Sweets & Jellies ranked by protein density

Showing the top 50 of the 127 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, last checked 2026-09-18.

What the sweets & jellies numbers show

Median across all 127 of them is 1.3g of protein per 100 calories. 2 clear 10g of protein per 100 calories — about one in 64, and 10g is the line Keith uses for a food that pays for its calories.

Calories run from 39 to 496 per 100g inside this one group, a 13-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 127 are supermarket own-label, too few to compare the two fairly.

What to actually pick

Most of what is sold as sweets & jellies is not a protein food. The 2 that clear 10g per 100 calories sit at the top of the table and are the exceptions, not the rule.

11 of the 127 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 calorie app.
