I buy Hebrew National Brand hot dog because they have no fillers and don't make me sick like reg ones tend to. However, they are expensive, if you are worried the fat content, buy the reduced fat type of dogs and same goes with the cheese. You can also use a non stick pan and use cooking spray to cook both the dogs and the onions to reduce the fat even further.
