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.
Potatoes pack a big carb punch, as a 1/2- cup serving of baked sweet or white potato has around 21 grams of carbs. When you count carbs on a low-carb diet, you might be more interested in net carbs, which are the digestible carbs. Net carbs are calculated by subtracting the fiber from the total carb count. Sweet potatoes have 3 grams of fiber per 1/2 cup, and white potatoes have 2 grams, so their net carbs are equal to 18 grams and 19 grams, respectively. Overall, there's not too much of a difference carb-wise, and either potato may be a tough fit if you're following a plan that limits carbs to 20 to 50 grams a day.
