Full Answer. An ear of sweet corn has just 0.5 gram of fat with less than 0.1 gram of saturated fat, and it boasts just 3 milligrams of sodium. It has 14.1 grams of carbohydrates and 1.3 grams of dietary fiber, which both translate to approximately 5 percent of a person's recommended daily intake.
When you buy corn on the cob, avoid ears with black or dry corn silk or kernels with indentations, because those are signs that the corn is drying out and has lost sweetness. One large ear of sweet, yellow corn boiled without salt has 113 calories, 4 grams of protein and 1.8 grams of total fat.
