On these nice hot Texas summer days, we all like to eat the classic burger and hot dogs.
Sometimes, it is both based on preferences of what we feel like eating.
But here comes the big question.
Which is healthier?
There are so many varieties now a days ranging from plant based burgers and hot dogs to turkey burgers and soy dogs.
If we are talking classics let's use 85/15 burger and traditional hot dog.
Now any idea to which is healthier?
Burgers est 250 calories while hot dogs come in at approx 200 calories.
Both burger and hot dog buns are estimated 200 calories.
Now, if you start adding things like cheese, avacado, bacon, fried eggs, mayo, ketchup,chile, sauerkraut then calories change quickly.
Let's look from a few other points before deciding.

Sodium
Burger 100m
Hot dog 600mg

Protein
Burger 20
Hot dog 5

Fat
Burger 17 gm
Hot dog 13gm

Carcinogen
is the one thing that stands out really negative for the hot dogs because it is highly processed.
That's why the World Health Organization has classified hot dogs in the group 1 category.
All though there are many variations of how they are cooked, to what leval of doneness you eat them, along with other factors the winner over all is that burgers are the healthier choice.

These days, there are many proven studies and tests that prove our gut health effects every thing we do.
No matter how good we eat, if our gut isn't healthy, we don't absorb the nutrients and vitamins from the foods, and this can lead to stomach problems and diseases.
Taking care of the trillions of healthy bacteria that live in our stomachs is very important to the digestive and immune systems along with the metabolism.
Maintaining a healthy diet for meals by eating gut friendly foods is one thing, but what about when it's 3pm and you are looking for a salty snack??
Did you know nuts are the best snack for a healthy gut?
A handful of nuts or something with nut butter makes a quick, easy to travel snack that will tide you over and their high protein will keep you full until the next meal.
There are many ways to eat them and even people dealing with high blood pressure or diabetes can have unsalted nuts.
When buying butters go for nuts and salt only because the fewer ingredients there are, the better.
