How bad are hamburgers and hot dogs for you? Nutrition pros weigh in to settle the debate about these classic American dishes that are summer-grilling staples.
"Both hamburgers and hot dogs are hyper-caloric foods with a higher saturated fat content relative to other foods or sources of meat," says Ben Schuff, a licensed dietitian nutritionist and director of naturopathy and nutrition at BIÂN Chicago. Perri Ormont Blumberg is a contributing lifestyle reporter for Fox News Digital.
"Summer is a time when people fire up the grill and indulge in delicious hot dogs and hamburgers, but it's important to remember that these foods may not always be the healthiest options," adds Melissa Wasserman Baker, a New York-based registered dietitian and founder of Food Queries.
