How Many Calories in a Hot Dog

Oh no - this is a hard call because of the calories in the frank. On average, a package containing 10 franks contains about 110 calories per regular-size frank. Add another 75 calories if the franks are jumbo-size.

Most hot dog buns contain 80 to 130 calories, depending on the size and brand of the hot dog bun. Some light versions may contain much less calories - as low as 45 calories per bun.

Based on the above, the average hot dog will cost you about 250 calories. The calories are good - as calories goes, but the fat content is out of the ball park.

Hot Dog Tips to Keep the Calorie Count Down:

Enjoy your hot dog with light or wheat bread. The standard slice of white/wheat bread contains 60 to 80 calories on average - again, depending on the brand and size of the bread.

Cut the frank in half and save a lot of calories. Odds are, you won't even miss the meat.

Hot Dog sauce is generally much lower in calories and fat than chili.

Add kraut to your hot dog if you aren't keeping an eye on your sodium intake.

Look for light franks, light buns and franks made with chicken and turkey which tend to be naturally less in calories.
