    steak and salad for sure!! Thats not unhealthy! As long as you dont load it with bbq sauce. Dont load your salad with fatty dressings, croutons, cheeses. If your at someone elses house for a BBQ or something i'd say steak and salad would have more nutritional value then a hot dog anyways.

    Steak and stick to about a 4 oz. max portion. ANY TIME this is better than a hot dog! :)

    No question you should eat the steak and just be sure that your portion size is 4-5 oz., as well as avoid the steak sauces. Or you could just eat a very large salad as that was part of the option.

    Steak! and 4oz. is about the size of the palm of your hand.

    Step AWAY from the processed meat!! :) The steak is way healthier.

    I live in Atlanta and there's a billboard outside Turner Stadium that depicts a pack of cigarettes with hotdogs in it. They are apparently carcinogenic. I'm a vegetarian...so was especially amused by the sign.

    8 ounces of sirloin steak (which is a double portion) has about the same calories as a hot dog. HOWEVER, the hot dog has 9 more grams of fat and 29 less grams of protein. I agree with what everyone else says...go for the steak!

    go bovine!! chowing down on the salad (with an oil and vinegar or light dressing) is just a bonus after noshing on the nice, juicy, yummy cow. :)

    why would you think eating steak and salad isn't the healthy option? is there something about the way it is being fixed that we don't know about?

    no its just plain mostly. i just uh thought steak was bad for u because its a red meat? and my coach told us that we should only eat it like once a week and i already had some 3 days ago

    Just make sure its a lean cut of steak.....I only eat filet mignon and trim it of all fat (usuallly not to much on that type anyway) and weigh the steak.....you'd be surprised what 4 oz actually is.......

    I buy HOFFY N/Fat Hot Dogs. They are good. I just add the usual topppings. A four ounce Filet Migion streak is the leanest cut. More filling, and have some nice steamed veggies.Giant has some frozen steamed ones. 1/2 bake potatoe no butter I rubbed the outside of the skin with different seasons of Avacado Oil, and bake. The flavor is soaked up, and it taste really good. :smile:

    I saw the question and had to laugh, like maybe it was wedding menu;) you have to mail the card-and who would pick hot dog?!
    But I have to disagree about fillet Mignon, I do not think that is a lean cut. I heard sirloin or tenderloin are lean cuts. Maybe fillet Mignon is tenderloin and I just sound stupid...

    it is not bad for you on occassion but in some people it takes longer to digest and makes them feel sluggish. twice a week is probably fine. :)

    unless that is a turkey dog, go with steak..Like Dan Aykroyd said in the movie "The Great Outdoors".."You know what the gourmet here wanted? Hotdogs! You know what they're made of, Chet? Huh? Lips and a##holes!"
