Round 1 - Calories  WINNER: Yves Veggie Corn dog
YVES VEGGIE : 140
OSCAR M: 260

* The Oscar Meyer Meat brand is almost double the calories of its veggie competitor. Actually, the calories from fat in the meat brand are equal to the entire calorie count in the Yves Veggie brand. That's food for thought!


Round 2 - Fat  WINNER: Yves Veggie Corn dog
YVES VEGGIE: 4.5g 7%DV
OSCAR M: 15g 23%DV

* At three times the fat intake per serving it's obvious why the veggie version wins this one ! Besides, it'll definitely stop you from having a second and let's be frank (Like the pun? franks = wienies) , 1 is never enough!


Round 3 - Sodium  WINNER: Yves Veggie Corn dog
YVES VEGGIE: 420mg 18%DV
OSCAR M: 720mg 30%DV

* Too much sodium can be a very bad thing for your diet and both options are a little high however pairing the veggie version with a nice side salad is actually a pretty balanced meal. Oscar Meyer's meat corn dogs are a whopping 1/3 of your MAX daily intake of sodium. No seconds for you !


Round 4 - Protein  WINNER: Yves Veggie Corn dog
YVES VEGGIE: 8g
OSCAR M: 7g

* Both options are very close here but the Veggie corn dog inches ahead.


Round 5 - Vitamins and Minerals  WINNER: Yves Veggie Corn Dog

* Simply comparing the two charts as far as vitamins and minerals go it's alarmingly obvious who the winner is. Yves Veggie offers a variety of vitamins and minerals while it's meat counterpart kind of falls short in that department.


AND THE WINNER IS. . . . . .

YVES VEGGIE CORN DOGS

Well folks it was a clean sweep. Although a little high in sodium these corn dogs provided fewer calories and fat and more protein, vitamins, and minerals. Enjoying a corn dog here and there just became a little easier !
