If you want two, try splitting the dogs lengthwise and stacking them on the bun. It would make it very meaty. I often like two if I'm not having side dishes.0

Where do you buy healthylife buns?? Can someone PM me where they find them?
They are just at my Jewel (midwestern chain grocery).0 -
My mom started using english muffins recently - if you get the whole wheat, they're relatively healthy and they're much lower calorie than hamburger buns. I think they make great burger buns
EDIT: I just checked - the average WW english muffin is about half the calories of a typical burger bun (130 vs 260).0 -
Yeah, I make my own homemade burgers and replace the bun with giant flat mushrooms. I'm sure you could do the same with hotdogs if you cut them to fit! x
I have never heard or thought of this before but it is brilliant and I must try it!0 -
Butter lettuce.0

I got nothing... lol Why would you not just enjoy the hot dog in its bun and log it and move on..... Some things are just meant to be enjoyed but that's just me.... Best of Luck though.....
Definitely this!
A grilled hot dog or hamburger should be enjoyed with the bun, enjoy it, log it and carry on enjoying the day0 -
I put a hot dog on a low-cal slice of bread. I think it's like 45 calories. For burgers I just skip the bun.0

Healthy life sells Hamburger and Hot Dog buns both at 80 calories and they are very tasty.
Whaaaaaa? I need to find these.0 -
How often do you eat hot dogs for this to be a concern, jeez
Just eat the bun. I promise you won't die. And one day every now and then won't ruin all your work. Just put some chili and cheese on it so you get some legumes and dairy in :happy:
and if you eat these soooo much that this is a general concern, there's lettuce. A nice thick, leaf of lettuce wrapped around, mmmm
Good Luck OP :flowerforyou:0 -
For a Hotdog I use a burger slimwhich bun (@ 90 cal) only use half of it for each dog so @ 45 cal0

My buns, they're delicious too bad it's not Wednesday anymore.
But in all honesty, pita bread, tortillas, unsliced fresh bread from your bakery (cut thin slices yourself), or actually move your limbs and do stuff so that a hot dog bun won't cause you stress :P0 -
In the winter, I'll often make a hot dog bun out of snow.
In the summer, some grass clippings mashed together usually work.0 -
Eat a Smartdog (tofu hotdog) - they are 50 calories each; put it on one slice Arnold Whole Wheat Bread - 100 calories; total - 150 calories.
I know, it's not a 'real' hotdog - but I think they're pretty tasty - and you save a TON of calories (and fat, and sodium)!0 -

I don't think I could bring myself to eat a tofu hotdog. That seems terrifying to me.
Side note, though: We eat tacos once a week, and instead of eating the whole hard shell I break it in half, put my meat and stuff on top and eat it like a little pizza slice or something. Another trick!0 -
if you cut a slit down the center of the hot dog lengthwise, it can become a meat bun for another hot dog0

has anyone said grilled, giant, portabella mushroom caps?0

Shop around for the buns - the store brand I buy are 90 calories for the hot dogs and 100 for hamburger buns. You could always just use plain old white bread - Wonder White classic is only 70 calories a slice. Or, you could even use the "diet" breads that are 40ish calories per slice. Doesn't appeal to me, but if you really want to cut the calories, that would do it.0

There is non. Skip the bun if you don't want to eat it.0

None. Eat it, walk/run/zumba whatever an extra mile. Enjoy!!!0
