1. How many ounces are in the average slice of cheese that you get from the
deli?

2. Are turkey/chicken hot dogs acceptable for induction? Or are regular
beef franks better?

Thanks.

(1) Do yourself a favor, get a kitchen scale, and ask your deli whether they
have the nutritional label of that cheese hidden somewhere.

(2) It'd work much better if you stick with fresh meat. Hot dogs, sausages,
meat slices, preserved meat, spam, etc, often got flour, sugar, sugar alcohol,
starches, added to them. Look at labels - sometime even fresh meat have been
injected with or soaked in some sugary solutions.

If you get half a pound of cheese (8 oz), count up the number of slices
and do the arithmetic.

Some American cheese is carbierr than "real" cheese, so a
slice counts as 1.0 whether it's an ounce or less. Unless
you know the exact count it's best to round up to .

Acceptable. That's a good word in this case. Acceptable does
not mean correct. It means far enough away from incorrect
that you''re not obviously wrong.

Yes, real is better. I tend to get kosher dogs. I don't
keep kosher. I think nothing of eating pork. I get the
kosher ones because they are better quality and often really
zero carb count compared to the cheaper dogs.

I was recently surprised to see the "Miller" brand Beef hot dog were 3
carbs per serving (1/2 sausage) but the Polish Sausage was marked as 1
carb. You do have to read labels and hope they are right.

Weird part is - who the hell decides that half of a hot dog is a
'serving'. This manipulation allows them to mark down lower carbs and fat.
Kind of fools you.

I don't believe I had met a person that'd say "I'll sit down and eat half
of a hot dog."
