I think you should just relax and have a regular hot dog once in a while. Some have more carbs than others, so read the labels carefully. Chicken weiners are very low in carbs. The key is moderation. You should be weary of too much nitrates in these dogs more than the carbs. Bacon has the same nitrate issue, but most people in this forum seem to eat lots of it.

As for the price issue, try to buy in bulk at Costco or somewhere. Chicken is not expensive if you compare it too what you used to eat, I'm sure. If you buy LC products from Health stores or on the web, it can cost you an arm an a leg. One LC bar could be 3 - 5 bucks!

G'luck
