For a train journey where protein per packet matters, compare individually portioned protein crisps: Applied Nutrition states 15g per 50g bag, while Myprotein lists 11g per 25g pack. Ordinary crisps can suit a flavour-first snack, but the Walkers and Seabrook packets considered here provide substantially less protein per pack; check the exact flavour’s ingredients and allergens before choosing.
If you want a compact savoury snack between meals, the amount in the packet you will eat is more useful than a per-100g figure alone. Applied Nutrition lists 15g per 50g bag, and Myprotein lists 11g per 25g pack.
Choose by the exact flavour’s ingredients and allergen statement, not by its crisp style or a brand-wide assumption. Protein sources and flavourings differ between the products considered here.
If a familiar crisp matters more than protein per packet, conventional and lentil options remain choices. Tyrrells lists 3.9g protein per 30g serving for two lentil-crisp flavours, compared with Myprotein’s 11g per 25g pack.
Start with the portion you will take on the train, then check its nutrition and ingredients rather than judging by the snack’s name.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Protein per packet | Compare grams of protein in the whole packet or intended portion, alongside its size. Myprotein lists 11g per 25g pack; Tyrrells lists 3.9g per 30g serving for two lentil-crisp flavours. | I want to know how much protein the portion I actually eat provides, not just the figure per 100g. |
| Nutrition wording | Read the exact product’s nutrition panel and serving size. A protein value on a conventional crisp packet does not, by itself, establish a high-protein claim. | If protein is my main reason for buying the snack, I need more than a protein-themed name or a baked description. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Check the selected flavour’s protein source, ingredients and allergen statement. Myprotein’s BBQ protein crisps use soy protein; flavour-specific declarations can differ elsewhere. | I need a packet that fits my dietary requirements without having to make assumptions from a vegan label or the brand name. |
| Journey format | Check whether the stated size is one packet, one serving or a larger pack. Myprotein lists 25g packs, while the Joybuy Kallo and Graze options below are labelled 100g. | For a short journey, I may prefer a stated single portion; for a larger pack, I will need to decide how much to take. |
A packet can list protein without being a protein-focused snack. Walkers Oven Baked Sea Salt lists 1.3g per 22g pack, and Seabrook Cheese & Onion lists 2.0g per 31.8g bag.
Compare the protein in the whole packet you plan to eat, and read the exact product’s nutrition information before relying on claim wording.
Tyrrells lists 3.9g per 30g serving for its Sour Cream & Onion and Sweet Chilli & Red Pepper Lentil Crisps; Myprotein lists 11g per 25g pack for its protein crisps. Baked wording describes a different characteristic from protein content.
Choose by the per-portion figure when protein is the deciding factor, rather than by the base ingredient or cooking description alone.
A vegan product can still use soya: Myprotein’s BBQ Protein Crisps use soy protein. Ingredients and precautionary statements can also differ between crisp flavours.
Read the ingredients and allergen statement on the exact packet before packing it for the journey.

This 100g crunchy savoury snack is an alternative when flavour is the priority. Check the portion you intend to pack, its protein figure and the allergen statement rather than treating the whole pouch as one serving.

No. Myprotein states that its Protein Crisps are vegan, but the BBQ flavour uses soy protein. Check the ingredients and allergen statement for the flavour you plan to take.
Do not assume so from the word “baked”. Walkers lists 1.3g protein per 22g pack of Oven Baked Sea Salt crisps, while Myprotein lists 11g per 25g pack of Vegan Protein Crisps. Compare the exact packets rather than their cooking descriptions.
Yes, if ingredients or allergens affect your choice. Seabrook states that its Prawn Cocktail crisps are vegan and gluten-free, while its Cheese & Onion ingredients include milk; the brand name alone does not settle suitability.
