Yes, you can eat hot dogs on the Atkins diet, but you need to be mindful of the carbohydrate content. A typical hot dog has around 2 grams of carbohydrates which is within the Atkins diet carbohydrate restrictions. However, most hot dogs are typically eaten with a bun, which can add an additional 20 grams or more of carbohydrates. The recommended daily intake of carbohydrates on the Atkins diet is 20-25 grams during the induction phase, and slowly increasing to 80-100 grams in the maintenance phase.
