They are cooked with a lot of salt, fat, and preservatives, so a single hot dog can have a lot of calories.  But as long as it’s a smaller portion, then you’re probably still doing better than eating an equivalent amount of cheese and French fries.  Unless the hot dog is made with meat from pigs infected with Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome, it should be relatively healthy.
