Put this food into your day

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.

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

Median across the 26 Tesco salad products with usable figures is 4g of protein per 100 calories. That is level with the 3.5g median for salad across all 441 products in the database, chains and name brands together.

Exactly one clears 10g of protein per 100 calories, which is the line Keith uses for a food that pays for its calories.

Of the four chains carrying enough salad to compare, Tesco has the strongest own-label range; Dunnes Stores the weakest.

The best Tesco option here reaches 10.2g of protein per 100 calories; somewhere in the wider salad group something reaches 17.6g, so Tesco is not where the ceiling is.

Calories run from 21 to 334 per 100g across the Tesco salad range, a 16-fold spread, so “Tesco salad” on its own tells you almost nothing about what a portion costs you.

What to pick in Tesco

Most of what is sold as salad 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.

Nothing in here passes 400 calories per 100g, so portion size matters less than it does in the snack aisles.

Where this fits

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

If the real question is what to put on the plate, there is a week of Irish meals with the numbers already done.

For one specific item rather than a shortlist, the 20,000-product database is searchable on Calories in Ireland and built into the calorie app.

FAQ

How many salad products does Tesco have?

We track 31 Tesco salad products with full label figures. 26 of them carry 20 calories or more per 100g, so those are the ones ranked and averaged here; 1 clear 10g of protein per 100 calories.

Is Tesco the best place to buy salad?

On protein per calorie alone, Tesco's median is 4g against 3.5g for salad across every chain and brand we track. That is one number out of several — price and taste are not in this database — but it is the one nobody prints on the shelf.
