    I actually try to eat somewhat 'healthy....' whatever that is. But, I don't think there is any substitute for a hot dog.

    With mustard and relish, and preferably onions.

    I have to check on turkey sausage...I know maybe a better bread but the meat itself is the main issue, wieners are not healthy. Plus I like all fixings on them too.

    What's wrong with hot dogs? Why would they sabotage anything?

    But there are uncured turkey dogs too.

    I've been having hot dogs a lot lately - but today i have a special tea planned too - so needed some extra calories... but hotdogs are on the menu for lunch... so...

    I am planning on using half the bun - chopping the dog in half & putting both halves on the 1/2bun - doubling the onion & halfing the cheese (extra onion is decadence & you only need a slice of cheese the whole way along the bun - so - half bun, half cheese right?) and half the tomato sauce... I have a feeling it will look HUGE and "how will that even fit in my mouth" so should satiate visually - but halving the bun, sauce and cheese (in my case) saves 151 calories! The onion is only an extras 18 calories to double it - so overall have saved 133 calories. Its also 18 grams of carbs less! :)

    They're high in calories and once you add all the fixings it puts me over, and sometimes just two hot dogs aren't enough

    They aren't too bad (100% beef). Those are the only kind we eat, probably like 3-4$ a packet. Theres kosher ones too, those are a little more, but AMAZING

    Hebrew National (I think) has a fat free hot dog that is okay. Look for "all-beef" and "fat free" for the lowest calories.

    Smart Dogs are really good - vegetarian, soy - high in protein, low in fat - healthier than the 'real thing' - no nitrates.........
