[HELP] Calories of corn on cob
I posted this question ont the calorie counting forum, but nobody answered, so I will post it here again...
I have been eating 1 corn no cob per day for the past 3 days, so when logging it into my food log I start wondering if anyone has weighted your corn on the cob, how many grams does a medium size corn on the cob weight? and the cob?
I'm not sure whether the calories on CC is correct...it seems underestimating the weight & calories to me...
Reason: Moved from Weight Loss to Foods forum
If you have a scale yourself, you can determine the weight of the corn by weighing it whole and then subtracting the weight of the cob after you eat the corn.
Sorry, I can't be more helpful than that because I haven't had corn on the cob in a while!
when you type in corn, there is an option for a small, medium, or large ear of corn, so you should be able to guesstimate.
Otherwise as the previous poster said, a food scale is your best option. That will give you the most accurate count.
To use as a comparison to what's on this site, here are the listed calorie values for corn on the cob at KFC with no butter added......
3" cob = 70 cal
5.5" cob = 140 cal
Hope that helps!
I just weighted my corn (before, and the cob after finishing the corn), so for a large size of corn on the cob, the whole thing weights 393 grams, and the cob itself weights 154 grams, so it means the the corn itself weights 239 grams.
Is my sodium intake too low?
You have nothing to worry about because sodium deficiency is extremely rare. In fact, there is not even an recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA... Read more
