About Hot dog with ketchup and mustard
A hot dog with ketchup and mustard is a popular fast-food item known globally, with its roots tracing back to German sausages brought to the United States in the 19th century. Typically served on a soft bun, the hot dog includes a cooked sausage, often made from pork, beef, or a mix of meats, topped with ketchup and mustard for added flavor. Nutritionally, a typical hot dog portion provides approximately 150-200 calories, with around 5-7 grams of protein, 12-15 grams of fat, and minimal fiber. While it offers some protein, its sodium content (approximately 500-700 mg per serving) can be high, and the added condiments also contribute to sugar and sodium intake. The overall nutritional profile may vary based on the type and size of the sausage used as well as bun and topping choices.
Health Benefits
- Provides a quick source of energy through carbohydrates from the bun.
- Offers about 5-7 grams of protein per serving, supporting muscle repair and maintenance.
- Hot dogs fortified with vitamin-enriched grains in the bun can contribute small amounts of B vitamins, supporting energy metabolism.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
If not consumed immediately, store cooked hot dogs in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 3-4 days. Ensure the sausages are fully reheated to 165°F before eating.

A standard serving size is one hot dog with its bun, along with about one tablespoon each of ketchup and mustard. This provides roughly 250-300 calories depending on the type of hot dog and condiments used, making it suitable as a main dish or paired with a side like salad for balance.
