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.
Myth #2: Corn is fattening and sugary. Truth: An ear of corn has about the same number of calories as an apple and less than one-fourth the sugar.
