Okay, real talk: sodium. Most patties start with 400 to 500 mg of salt. That’s about 20% of your daily limit. But salt makes things taste good.
It also makes you thirsty, which cues you to drink water. So it’s kind of a health hack. Drink water, stay hydrated, eat more patties.
Just don’t eat ten patties in one sitting. Unless you’re training for a hot dog contest. Then, go for it.

It also contains creatine naturally. That’s the stuff bodybuilders pay for. You get it for free in your dinner.
