A larger multipack of crisps is right for your household only if you’ll get through the individual packs before they lose their quality, and the overall quantity suits your actual needs. After a workout, crisps are more of a treat than the basis of a protein-focused meal: REWE and EDEKA list 5.5 g and 6.3 g of protein per 100 g respectively for their documented paprika varieties. Check the ingredients, allergens and nutritional information on the pack for the variety you choose.
You fancy something savoury after a workout, while also keeping track of your protein intake throughout the day. The paprika crisps listed by REWE and EDEKA contain 5.5 g and 6.3 g of protein per 100 g respectively; their nutritional values alone don’t make them a complete post-workout meal.
You buy several portions at once and want to avoid leaving an opened pack uneaten. So compare the number of individual bags and the total quantity with how much your household gets through.
You need to check each variety for specific ingredients or allergen information. Lorenz lists sweet whey powder and cheese powder in Crunchips Paprika; Chio lists potatoes, vegetable oils and salt as ingredients in Chio Ready Salted. The information on the pack you buy is what matters.
First decide whether the crisps are mainly a portion to enjoy or part of a shop for several people. Then check how the packs are divided up and the information for the specific variety.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| How they fit in after a workout | Check the protein and energy per 100 g, as well as the intended portion size. | If protein matters to me after a workout, I don’t want to mistake crisps for a meal designed to meet that need. Around 36% of consumers put this consideration first. |
| Pack size and how quickly you’ll use them | Compare the total quantity and size of the individual packs with how much you plan to eat. | For several people, I want to buy enough portions without leaving an opened bag around for too long; this need comes first for around 36% of consumers. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients list, allergen and ‘may contain’ information, and salt per 100 g on the pack. | If I need to avoid certain ingredients, the recipe of the variety I actually buy is what matters. This is the main concern for around 28% of consumers. |
A 200 g or 215 g pack isn’t automatically a better choice than several smaller bags. It also matters how much you’ll actually eat once a bag is open.
Compare the total quantity and portion sizes with what your household needs.
An opened bag left uneaten may lose its crunch.
The documented paprika varieties from REWE and EDEKA contain 5.5 g and 6.3 g of protein per 100 g respectively. These figures for specific varieties don’t tell you whether a meal as a whole suits your training goals.
If you’re keeping an eye on your protein intake, treat the crisps as an indulgent portion and take the rest of what you eat that day into account.
Seasoning and manufacturer can affect the ingredients and allergen information. Lorenz lists milk ingredients in Crunchips Paprika, while the ingredients list Chio publishes for Ready Salted is different.
Check the ingredients, allergens and ‘may contain’ information on every pack you buy, rather than relying on the product category or another variety.

The multipack of three is an option if you’re planning to buy several packs of the same variety. For the version you buy, pay particular attention to the ingredients and allergen information, as well as the nutritional values per 100 g.
No. Calling something potato crisps doesn’t tell you whether it makes a complete post-workout meal. REWE and EDEKA list 5.5 g and 6.3 g of protein per 100 g respectively for their documented paprika varieties. If you’re keeping an eye on your protein intake, include the rest of what you eat that day in your plans.
A multipack is a good fit when the number and size of the individual packs suit how much you plan to eat. For example, funny-frisch also sells Chipsfrisch ungarisch in a 4 × 40 g pack; with larger individual packs, it’s especially important to consider whether you’ll finish the contents once opened.
Yes, check the information for the specific variety you’re buying. Lorenz lists sweet whey powder and cheese powder, among other ingredients, in Crunchips Paprika, while Chio publishes a different ingredients list for Ready Salted. Ingredients and ‘may contain’ information for one variety don’t apply to all potato crisps.
Online information is useful for narrowing down your choices, but check the packaging of the version you buy. EDEKA notes that online product information may differ from the packaging, and Lorenz also advises checking the pack for recipe changes.
