Get Your Day Off To A Good Start With Hot Dog Breakfast

For a healthy start to the day, you need fuel for your body and mind. Ideally, the recommended breakfast meal should be made up of food containing portions of fruit and vegetables, grains, protein, and dairy. 

While you need to fill up on all the necessary nutrients to kickstart your day, there is no need to settle for a boring meal. A hot dog plate is just as healthy as the next meal, especially if you are mindful of your toppings. 

Whether you prefer your hot dog boiled or grilled, plain or with condiments, you can make a balanced breakfast. 

Without the toppings, a hot dog has 150 calories with close to 5 grams of protein content and an insignificant amount of carbs. So consider the nutrition information of the toppings you choose. 

Plus, you can make healthier choices when it comes to your hot dog buns. Consider faux or vegetable buns if you’re going for a low-carb diet. 

Take note of nutrition facts. And it always helps to consume your breakfast dogs in moderation. If you follow the daily target charts and read the packaging on your toppings, you shouldn’t have anything to worry about. 

Remember to pair your hot dogs with a healthy beverage that will make your taste buds do the cha-cha with every bite.
