Nutritionists reveal verdict behind hamburgers, hot dogs and which is better for you.
With summer in full swing, your head may be swirling with thoughts of all the delicious condiments you’re going to pile high on your hot dog or hamburger.
“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. Schuff adds that store-bought burger patties often contain added sodium, preservatives and other additives to enhance flavor and prolong shelf life.
When it comes to the overall nutritional profile, though, she says that “hamburgers made with lean meat and loaded with veggies tend to offer a better balance of protein, healthy fats, and essential nutrients.”“Hamburgers, typically made with ground beef, can provide a significant amount of protein, iron, and other essential nutrients,” he says. “However, they are often higher in saturated fat and calories.
As Schuff puts it, in a head-to-head comparison, “you can much more easily choose a healthier option in hamburgers relative to hot dogs simply because hot dogs are, by nature, a significantly processed product without quality meats being sourced for the vast majority of products.” Getty Images/iStockphoto
