This all-beef hot dog is split lengthwise and cooked on the grill.  It’s topped with a layer of American-style cheese and served on a soft bun.

You can select from a variety of additional toppings such as pickles, grilled onions, jalapeno peppers, ketchup, or mustard.

In this post we provide you with an overview of the calories, detailed nutritional facts, and allergens in the Five Guys Cheese Dog.

Nutrition facts are based on a single serving, measured as one cheese dog. The amount of total calories and nutritional content will vary should your order include optional toppings.

The caloric breakout by nutrient is a rounded estimate based on the nutrition facts label sourced from the restaurant. Calories may vary by location, as a result of how it’s prepared, or due to topping choices.

Sodium

The amount of sodium in a single cheese dog is quite high in my opinion. One serving contains 1,440 milligrams of sodium, over 60% of the daily value recommended by the FDA.

My Opinion

I think it’s important to consider the quantity of sodium when choosing which meal to order for lunch or dinner. Despite the delicious flavor, consuming more than 60% of the recommended limit for an entire day seems excessive.

Don’t forget that daily value is based on an individual with a 2,000 calorie daily diet. If I were to follow a diet with fewer calories per day, the percentage of sodium in this one meal would be even more egregious. Anyway, I think it’s something to consider.
