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. In other words, it can be one of the healthier foods at the cookout! Just remember: while sweet corn is healthy, some of the toppings people like to put on it arenât. So donât assume an ear of corn slathered in butter and doused in salt is still a healthy option.
You can fit corn into your meal plan by watching your portion. One small ear of corn contains about 85 calories and 19 grams of carbohydrate, whereas one large ear of corn may have double the amount of carbohydrates and calories. Therefore, if you are eating whole corn stick to a small to medium sized ear.
