Showing the top 50 of the 387 beans & lentils 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.
Food tip: For fat loss, start with the portion you actually eat and include oils, sauces and extras. The label gives you a starting point.
Check your portion and work out your daily target. FoodSussed adds label scanning, calorie and protein tracking, and a built-in Coach for fat loss or muscle gain.
FoodSussed is being built for Ireland and the UK. The Android app is coming soon.
Protein and calories are one part of the label. See processing Levels 1–4 with real examples; levels are estimates, not health scores.
387 of the 389 beans & lentils 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 5.7g of protein per 100 calories. 10 clear 10g of protein per 100 calories — about one in 39, and 10g is the line Keith uses for a food that pays for its calories.
Calories run from 25 to 647 per 100g inside this one group, a 26-fold spread, so “beans & lentils” 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 5.9g of protein per 100 calories across 99 products, against 5.6g for the 288 name-brand ones.
Lidl is the only Irish chain with enough own-label beans & lentils to compare fairly — 28 products at a median of 5.3g per 100 calories. Everywhere else this is a name-brand shelf.
On the numbers the pick is Gourmet Fuel Mini Turkey & 4 Bean Cassoulet: 13g of protein per 100 calories, 2.3 times the 5.7g median for the group.
31 of the 387 carry 400 calories or more per 100g — the ones worth weighing rather than eyeballing.
Only one chain carries enough of this own-label to break out separately, so Lidl Beans & Lentils is the one sub-page here, next to everything else Lidl sells.
Front-of-pack claims on this stuff rarely match the back, so check it with FoodSussed.
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.
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.
We track 389 beans & lentils products across Irish supermarkets and brands. 387 of them carry 20 calories or more per 100g or 100ml. We chose that cut-off: below it, a trace of protein in a near-zero-calorie food produces a misleadingly high protein-per-100-calories figure, so only those products are ranked and averaged here.
The table is sorted highest protein per 100 calories first, so the answer is the top row. The more useful number is that the median for the whole group is 5.7g per 100 calories and 10 products clear 10g — that tells you whether beans & lentils is worth buying for protein at all, which protein per 100g does not.
