If protein per packet is your priority, compare dedicated protein crisps before choosing a baked or lentil variety: Applied Nutrition states 15g per 50g bag, while Walkers lists 1.3g per 22g pack and Tyrrells lists 3.9g per 30g serving. Pack sizes differ, so check protein alongside calories, salt and ingredients for the portion you plan to take.
If you want a savoury packet that contributes protein, compare grams per packet rather than relying on the word “protein” on the front. Applied Nutrition states 15g per 50g bag, and Myprotein states at least 10g per bag of its Popped Protein Crisps.
These are separate reasons to choose a snack. Walkers describes its Oven Baked Sea Salt crisps as having 50% less fat than regular potato crisps, but lists 1.3g protein per 22g pack.
Check the ingredients and allergen statement for the exact flavour you intend to pack. Quest Nutrition lists milk-derived proteins in its Pizza Tortilla Style Protein Chips, while Tyrrells lists milk in its Sour Cream & Onion Lentil Crisps.
Start with protein for the portion you expect to eat, then compare the rest of that pack’s nutrition and ingredients.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Protein per portion | Read grams of protein per pack or stated serving. Check the pack weight before comparing products; per-100g values alone describe a different portion. | I’m buying this snack specifically for protein, so I want to know how much the packet I’ll eat contains. |
| Calories, fat and salt | Compare the nutrition panel for the pack or serving you plan to eat. Consider a lower-fat claim separately from the protein amount. | For a day out, I want to compare the whole snack, not choose on its protein figure alone. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the exact flavour’s ingredient list and allergen statement, including any “may contain” wording. Do not assume every product in a range uses the same recipe. | If I’m packing snacks for someone avoiding an ingredient, I need to check the particular packets we’ll take. |
| Pack format | Check whether the stated nutrition refers to one bag, one piece or a serving from a larger pack. Consider how you will divide and carry it. | An individual bag is straightforward to pack; with a larger pack, I need to decide on a portion before leaving. |
Those words describe a product or ingredient, not its protein amount. Walkers lists 1.3g protein per 22g pack of Oven Baked Sea Salt, and Tyrrells lists 3.9g per 30g serving of its lentil crisps.
Read protein grams for the portion first, then compare fat, calories and salt if those also matter to your choice.
Per-100g figures help compare recipes, but packets and stated servings differ in size. They may not show how much protein is in the snack you actually pack.
Compare the pack or serving figures too, keeping the portion size beside each number.
Quest Nutrition lists milk-derived proteins in its Pizza Tortilla Style Protein Chips. Tyrrells says its Sour Cream & Onion Lentil Crisps contain milk and may contain soya and gluten.
Check the current label of each flavour, particularly when packing snacks to share.

These lentil cakes are a non-crisp alternative for a holiday snack. The 100g pack is not individually portioned; decide how much to take, and check the pack’s milk allergen statement if relevant to you.
Read the grams of protein for the pack or serving you intend to eat. A front-of-pack claim alone does not tell you how many grams are in your portion, and pack sizes vary.
No: check the figure for the exact product and serving. Tyrrells lists 3.9g protein per 30g serving of its lentil crisps, while Applied Nutrition states 15g per 50g bag of its Protein Chips.
No. Quest Nutrition lists milk protein isolate and whey protein isolate in its Pizza Tortilla Style Protein Chips. Check the exact flavour’s ingredients and allergen statement before buying.
Choose according to the attribute you care about: a lower-fat claim and a protein amount answer different questions. Walkers describes its Oven Baked Sea Salt crisps as 50% lower in fat than regular potato crisps and lists 1.3g protein per 22g pack.
