If you want protein from the cake itself, Ocado lists 24.8g per 100g for M&S Barbecue High Protein Rice Cakes, while Kallo lists 26.0g per 100g for its Protein Packed Lentil Cakes; Tesco and Sainsbury’s plain rice cakes list 8.8g and 8.1g respectively. Compare the current pack’s protein and portion size before choosing: the Joybuy listing gives a different protein figure for the Kallo product from Kallo’s own information.
Compare protein per 100g rather than treating every rice cake alike. Kallo and Ocado list 26.0g and 24.8g respectively for the specialist products examined; Tesco Groceries and Sainsbury’s list 8.8g and 8.1g for their plain cakes. Check the Kallo pack, as its Joybuy listing gives a different figure.
Kallo Protein Packed Lentil Cakes and M&S Barbecue High Protein Rice Cakes are labelled vegan and gluten-free. Check the individual pack’s allergen statement too: Kallo says its cakes may contain sesame and soya.
A plain cake can provide a crunchy base if you plan to add a separate topping. Tesco Groceries and Sainsbury’s list substantially less protein per 100g for the plain products examined than Kallo and Ocado list for the specialist cakes, so compare the finished snack if protein is your reason for buying it.
Start with protein per 100g, then check what a portion contains and whether the current pack suits your ingredients and flavour preferences.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Protein in the cake | Compare protein per 100g on the same basis. Kallo lists 26.0g and Ocado lists 24.8g for the specialist products; Tesco Groceries and Sainsbury’s list 8.8g and 8.1g for plain cakes. Check Kallo’s current pack because its Joybuy listing gives a different figure. | I want the cake itself to contribute protein, rather than relying on a topping. |
| Portion and pack size | Check the stated portion weight and protein per portion, as well as the pack weight. Per-cake figures are not directly comparable when the cakes differ in size. | A pack needs to make sense for the portions I plan to eat, not just look convincing on a per-100g label. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the current ingredients, dietary labels and precautionary allergen statement. Kallo says its cakes may contain sesame and soya; Sainsbury’s says its researched plain cakes are not suitable for customers with a milk allergy because of manufacturing methods. | I need to check the specific product, even if its vegan or gluten-free label fits what I’m looking for. |
| Flavour | Decide whether you want the barbecue seasoning of the M&S cakes, Kallo’s lentil-based cakes or a plain cake for your own topping. | For a savoury snack, I may want a seasoned cake; for toppings, I’d rather start with a plain base. |
Tesco Groceries and Sainsbury’s list 8.8g and 8.1g protein per 100g for the plain cakes examined, compared with 24.8g for the M&S product listed by Ocado and 26.0g in Kallo’s own information.
Use protein per 100g to compare cakes, then check the current pack and the amount you expect to eat. A plain cake may instead serve as a base for a separate topping.
Kallo’s lentil cakes are labelled vegan and gluten-free but may contain sesame and soya. Other products have their own ingredient and precautionary statements.
If you need to avoid an allergen, read the current physical pack rather than relying on another flavour or an older listing.

This lentil-based cake is an option if you want protein from the cake itself. Kallo lists 26.0g protein per 100g for the named product, but the Joybuy listing gives 21g per 100g; check the physical pack before comparing protein figures. Kallo says it may contain sesame and soya, while the Joybuy listing also flags possible milk cross-contact.
No, not among the products compared here. Tesco Groceries lists 8.8g protein per 100g for its Lightly Salted Rice Cakes and Sainsbury’s lists 8.1g for its researched plain cakes, while Ocado lists 24.8g for M&S Barbecue High Protein Rice Cakes and Kallo lists 26.0g for its lentil cakes. Check the Kallo pack because its Joybuy listing gives a different figure.

Check protein per 100g, the portion size, ingredients and allergen statement on the current pack. This matters particularly for the Kallo lentil cakes because Kallo’s protein figure differs from the one given in the Joybuy listing.
