Diet

Most chili dogs are not healthy, but with the right ingredients we can enjoy a lower fat version that keeps the Saturated Fat at 3 grams which is less than half of most fast food dogs. Making your own Homemade chili sauce will result in better flavor and texture than canned chili with the added benefit of lower sodium. Choose hot dogs with 1 gram or less of Saturated Fat and 350 milligrams or less in Sodium. Bread is almost always high in Sodium, but there are some better choices so look for buns with less than 220 milligrams of Sodium.
