I tried them and loved them. Made from all chicken breast - not mechanically separated parts of parts. Only 5 g. fat. Anyone else tried them?

    Nope, would rather just eat the chicken breast in a less processed form.

    If you're craving a hot dog, and it fits in your calorie and macro goals for the day, go for it!

    All I can think of is the PINK SLIME McDonalds makes their chicken nuggets out of squeezed into hot dog casings. :sick:

    I try not to eat processed meats at all right now.

    I don't normally eat them either, but my boyfriend was wanting to cook hotdogs over the fire pit and they looked like the best thing for me.

    Processed meat junk food. Avoid.

    There are worse things, but they are still highly processed and loaded with sodium.

    A really good alternative for hot dogs are either chicken apple sausages, or blackwing ostrich hot dogs. I have had both and the ostrich are my new obsession.

    If you're going to eat a hot dog be smart and choose the healthiest option which in my opinion would be an Applegate Organic and Natural Beef Hot Dog. "This classic frank is made from quality cuts of natural beef with no added nitrites or chemical preservatives. It’s also lower in fat than most conventional beef franks."

    Anything can taste good with tons of ketchup, kraut, and mustard on it :)

    I haven't tried them, but processed meats have been shown to increase risk of colon cancer. I'd eat them sparingly.

    I second Applegate organic hot dogs. They taste good and I eat them all the time.

    Sometimes if you go to your local butcher they actually have premade chicken hot dogs (or sausage links) that they grind from chicken breasts and make.. just another suggestion to avoid the processed procedure that Oscar Mayer would do.. I looked at the nutrition pretty low protein for what you get.. I know its only a hot dog but for 5g of fat and 7g protein.. ya...

    If the calories are worth the change in taste, do it. I'm not going to pretend those smokies never went on my food log lol :)

    When I want a hot dog, I go for the real thing. The beef angus ones are good. I'll give those Applegate ones a try if I can find them.

    Why not? A hot dog or two isn't going to kill you every now and again.

    If you read the labels carefully you can find some that aren't all that bad. I feel fortunate to have found a local butcher that makes their own. All natural and very low sodium. Only 130 per dog :bigsmile:

    Meh, I thought they had a weird texture and something was missing in the flavor. Weird too because I normally enjoy turkey substitutes like pepperoni, but the chicken hot dogs were icky to me.
