Sweet corn — starchy vegetable, technically a grain.
Higher carb than other vegetables. ~155 kcal per cup of kernels.
Best for
- volume eating — 86 kcal / 100g keeps plates big
- fiber and micronutrient gaps on high-protein diets
Watch out
- drowning produce in creamy dressings you did not log
- dried fruit or juice versions if you meant fresh
How to log it
Log the form you eat (raw, cooked, juiced). 1 ear (~90g) is the practical unit in the app.
Where it fits the day
Almost always fits as the volume layer. If fat/sauce is the real meal, log that honestly.
Cooked, grilled, fried & breaded
Raw or steamed sweet corn stays close to the page numbers. Oil and creamy dressings are where calories hide — typical kcal per 100g:
| Method | Typical kcal / 100g | Why it moves |
|---|---|---|
| Raw / steamed | ~86 | Matches the page numbers |
| Sautéed in oil | ~155–301 | Oil, not the vegetable, drives the jump |
| Creamy / dressed | ~215–430 | Log the dressing if it is the real meal |
These are typical ranges, not lab measurements. Restaurant recipes, oils, and sauces vary — treat them as logging estimates and edit if your plate looks heavier.
