Going to a cookout and passing on the hot dogs is like going to a baseball game and, well, passing on the hot dogs. The classic frank is such an integral part of American summer traditions that it's a shame to say no—even if you're trying to lose weight.
Hot-off-the-grill sausages and frankfurters are two of summer's great pleasures. But thanks to their high calorie, salt, and fat content, the tasty meats have gotten a bad rap. The good news is that there are a number of options on supermarket shelves that won't harm your health or your hard-earned beach body. Since reading and comparing every package's nutrition label to find the best can take forever, we did all the legwork.
All you have to do is pick up one of our Eat This, Not That!-approved picks, head home and fire up the grill. All of the meats below are free of scary additives and have no more than 160 calories, 11 grams of fat and 700 milligrams of sodium per serving—with the majority of them falling far below these nutritional upper limits. Stick with these healthy brands and you'll never be far from a quick, healthy protein-packed meal.

A fair share of conventional dogs are cured, meaning they've been injected with nitrates and nitrites, chemicals that have been shown to cause cancer and diabetes. Applegate is one of the few companies that doesn't add these dangerous additives to their dogs. Their Uncured Beef variety is made with 100% grass-fed, pasture-raised beef and is also low in calories and fat, earning it a top spot on our list. Just be aware of the sodium: at 500 milligrams per dog, you'll be golfing down 22% of your daily recommended intake of the nutrient. Make sure to drink plenty of water to keep yourself from feeling bloated.

Since it's free of scary additives and full of protein and flavor, this Cajun-style smoked sausage is far better than its competition. Even so, we can't ignore its higher sodium count. If you decide to indulge, stick to one sausage and keep any BBQ classics laced with salt—like chips, cheese, and ketchup—off your plate.

Our love for Al Fresco runs deep. No other company offers a wider variety of bold-flavored, low-calorie and low-sodium sausages—and this variety is one we can't get enough of. Makers of this variety use roasted red peppers, dried jalapeno peppers, and onion to give it a unique, rich flavor. Throw a link into a bun or mix it up by throwing slices of them on a homemade grilled veggie pizza.

We're fans of this plump pork brat because it has fewer calories and less fat and sodium than any other variety at the store. It's also free of antibiotics, hormones, nitrates and nitrites. The Original Brat's tasty, but relatively neutral flavor makes it a perfect canvas for a wide range of toppings from traditional German sauerkraut and hot mustard to pickled chilies and chutney. Pair it with a healthy beer for the full bierhaus experience.
