According to the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council, a traditional 1.5 oz beef hot dog has fewer than 200 calories. However, the real answer to how many calories are usually in a hot dog depends on several factors, including the type of meat, the bun, and the specific toppings you choose.

According to a 2010 review of studies published in the journal *Circulation*, a daily serving of processed meat, like a traditional hot dog, is linked to a 42% higher risk of coronary heart disease. This raises the question: Are there any hot dogs that are heart healthy? While moderation is key, some hot dog options and preparation methods offer significantly better nutritional profiles for your heart.
