Calories in Tesco Tomatoes (Ireland)

Tesco tomatoes ranked by protein density

Showing the top 26 of the 26 Tesco tomatoes products that carry a comparable calorie figure, ranked by protein per 100 calories.

What Tesco's tomatoes looks like next to everyone else's

Median across the 26 Tesco tomatoes products with usable figures is 3.5g of protein per 100 calories. That is level with the 4g median for tomatoes across all 680 products in the database, chains and name brands together.

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 three chains carrying enough tomatoes to compare, Tesco comes third, behind Aldi on 5g.

The best Tesco option here reaches 5.7g of protein per 100 calories; somewhere in the wider tomatoes group something reaches 10.3g, so Tesco is not where the ceiling is.

Calories run from 20 to 383 per 100g across the Tesco tomatoes range, a 19-fold spread, so “Tesco tomatoes” on its own tells you almost nothing about what a portion costs you.

What to pick in Tesco

Nothing here is a protein food, so treat it as calories. At a median of 3.5g 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

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

Front-of-pack claims on this stuff rarely match the back, so scan it with the label checker.
