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.

Showing the top 44 of the 44 Tesco vegetables 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 2026-10-24.

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

Median across the 44 Tesco vegetables products with usable figures is 4.9g of protein per 100 calories. That is ahead of the 4.2g median for vegetables across every chain and brand in the database, which is 435 products.

5 clear 10g of protein per 100 calories — about one in nine, and 10g is the line Keith uses for a food that pays for its calories.

Of the four chains carrying enough vegetables to compare, Tesco comes third, behind SuperValu on 5.6g.

The best Tesco option here reaches 12.7g of protein per 100 calories; somewhere in the wider vegetables group something reaches 14.8g, so Tesco is not where the ceiling is.

Calories run from 23 to 287 per 100g across the Tesco vegetables range, a 12-fold spread, so “Tesco vegetables” on its own tells you almost nothing about what a portion costs you.

What to pick in Tesco

Most of what is sold as vegetables is not a protein food. The 5 that clear 10g per 100 calories sit at the top of the table and are the exceptions, not the rule.

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

Where this fits

Vegetables 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 check it with FoodSussed.

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 vegetables products does Tesco have?

We track 44 Tesco vegetables products with full label figures. 44 of them carry 20 calories or more per 100g, so those are the ones ranked and averaged here; 5 clear 10g of protein per 100 calories.

Is Tesco the best place to buy vegetables?

On protein per calorie alone, Tesco's median is 4.9g against 4.2g for vegetables 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.
