Calories in Tomatoes (Ireland)

Tomatoes ranked by protein density

Showing the top 50 of the 680 tomatoes 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 tomatoes numbers show

680 of the 739 tomatoes products carry 20 calories or more per 100g, which is the floor below which protein per 100 calories stops being a real number. Across those the median is 4g of protein per 100 calories. Exactly one clears 10g of protein per 100 calories, which is the line Keith uses for a food that pays for its calories.

Calories run from 20 to 580 per 100g inside this one group, a 29-fold spread, so “tomatoes” on its own tells you almost nothing about what a portion costs you.

Own-brand is not the compromise here. The supermarket own-label median is 4g of protein per 100 calories across 181 products, against 3.9g for the 499 name-brand ones.

The chains are not equal on this: Aldi runs a median of 5g of protein per 100 calories across its 25 own-label tomatoes products, Tesco 3.5g across 26.

What to actually pick

Most of what is sold as tomatoes is not a protein food. Exactly one product clears 10g per 100 calories, and it sits at the top of the table — an exception, not a rule to shop by.

19 of the 680 carry 400 calories or more per 100g — the ones worth weighing rather than eyeballing.

Where this fits

That chain-by-chain gap is why the biggest ranges get their own page: Aldi Tomatoes covers 25 products, and everything else Aldi sells sits alongside it.

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

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.

Real tomatoes products with a photo

Real barcode-matched products with a confirmed photo — the same rule as Calories in Ireland: a photo only shows where we have a confirmed Open Food Facts match, never a guessed stock image.
