Calories: Caloric Content in Hot Dogs
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 contains about 250 calories. The calorie content is 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 whole grain 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 hot dog frank in half (length-wise) 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 and reduced fat franks, light buns and franks made with chicken and turkey which tend to be naturally less in calories.
