For my fellow Hot Dog lovers!

  • I love hot dogs..... but, since starting this weight loss journey, I know that a GOOD tasting hot dog requires a lot of my WW points (I looked in the WW book, and they had it listed as 5 points!!!). DH and I were at Walmart yesterday and he found "Hebrew National Beef Franks". They are SOOOO good!!!!
    For 1 dog:

    Calories 45
    Fat 1.5
    Fiber 0

    So, for WW people... that's 1 point for a frank!!!! YAY!!!

    Today for lunch, I'm pairing that with a whole wheat bun (for 2 pts) and 1/2 cup chili (for 2.5 points), some onion and mustard for a HOT DOG GREAT CHILI DOG! WHOOHOO!

    Anyway, just wanted to share!

    PS, they were on sale at Walmart, 2 packs for $5 (there are 7 in a pack)
  • OOOh...thank you soooo much!! Do they taste like regular hot dogs?? Im a hot dog lover, but have had to stay away from them What kind of chili are you using? homemade? or a can? That sounds super duper yummy!!!
  • In my opinion, they taste just like (if not better) than regular hot dogs! We used the Hormel No Bean chili in a can. For 1 cup, it's 5 points (but I used less than 1/2 cup on my dog). It was SOOO good. I felt SO naughty eating it , but knew that it was okay! That was a good feeling, let me tell ya!
  • I LOVE hot dogs! I was scared being on WW I couldn't eat a hot dog and be able to stay within my daily points, but BF and I found some fat-free hot dogs (can't remember who makes them) that are only 1 point each! Throw them on the grill, and they don't even taste different than regular hot dogs. We use WhiteWheat hot dogs bun (1 point per bun) and we make our own chili topping with sloppy joe mix, chili powder and ground beef (1/2 cup is 3 points, but I never even need that much even for 2 hot dogs.). They are a nice treat when you have a craving for some junk food, but still able to keep the points value low enough.
  • The Oscar Mayer fat free hot dogs are good too. Only 1 point each as well
  • yay!!! im stocked with hot dogs now....however, I cant seem to find any buns with low points in our local grocery store I guess ill have to keep hunting....and I need to pick up some chili.....ooh...

    I know the feeling of feeling naughty when I indulge in yummy food! I just ate a banana split (FF ice cream & half banana w/marshmallow topping) for 3 points....ahhh....I saved my points today just to come home and have that *yummmmm* heh...

    Well..off to the grocery store for some hot buns. lol
  • Lite Wheat/Light Wheat hot dog buns tend to be high in fiber, low in calories, and almost no fat which =low points. I use the Giant brand and they are 1 pt. I love the Oscar Mayer FF hot dogs!
  • DH will be happy to hear about these! Before I joined WW I bought a box of Louis Rich Turkey dogs & they're 3 points each! UGH!
    I think I'll give the rest to my mom - she loves 'em!
  • Oh wow...I am stocking up on these! I could eat hotdogs everyday! Thanks for posting this
  • We went back to WalMart and stocked up on them.... the ones we get say 97% fat free on the package..... check your walmart!!
  • Shy Moment, if you go on the Hebrew National website, and click on the box that says "the kosher difference" - there's a link in there for "where to find hebrew national products". they ask what you're looking for (97% fat free franks) and your zip code and they'll tell you who sells them....
