About Fast foods, hotdog, plain

The plain hot dog is a stadium-and-street-cart classic: a cured, cooked frankfurter tucked into a soft bun, served without toppings. It's quick, hand-held and instantly familiar, which is exactly why it has stayed on quick-service menus for generations.

Per 100 grams it carries about 247 calories, with roughly 10.6 grams of protein, 14.8 grams of fat and 18.4 grams of carbohydrate from the bun. The numbers that stand out are sodium and cholesterol — around 684 milligrams of sodium and 45 milligrams of cholesterol per 100 grams — both typical of a processed, cured meat. A single hot dog with its bun weighs roughly 100 grams, so these figures are close to what one actually delivers.

A hot dog is best treated as an occasional treat rather than a staple: like other processed meats it is high in sodium, and the frankfurter contributes most of the fat. If you enjoy them, leaner or reduced-sodium franks, a whole-grain bun, and topping with onions, relish or sauerkraut instead of extra cheese or chili are easy ways to make it a little lighter.
