The thing about hot dogs is that even the reduced calorie ones are usually made with sugar or high fructose corn syrup or other crap. Which is why I am thrilled to have discovered Hebrew National 97% Fat Free Beef Franks. They’re just 40 calories each and contain zero grams of sugar.
The only issue: How to eat them while avoiding wheat flour. Of course you can mix them with some sugar-free baked beans (if you can find them), but I have no shame about cutting them up and mixing them into chilli, or just eating straight with some ketchup* and mustard. I really don’t miss the bun at all, but I’m sure gluten-free hot dog varieties are out there.
*My dirty secret: I still eat ketchup. No, I don’t think this makes me like the alcoholic who gave up bourbon but still drinks Scotch. Please don’t hassle me about this!
