     Food provides not only calories but also various nutrients including protein, fat, fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Nutritionally, corn and rice differ. Corn is rich in dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals, whereas rice mainly serves as a source of carbohydrates. Therefore, although the caloric content of the two may be similar, they are not entirely equivalent in terms of nutritional value.

     Generally speaking, the weight of an ear of corn is approximately between 200 grams to 300 grams, containing about 400 kcal. The weight of a bowl of rice varies, typically ranging from 100 grams to 450 grams. A common household bowl of rice, weighing about 150 grams, usually contains approximately one-third to one-half of 600 kcal, which is between 200 kcal to 300 kcal. It is generally considered that the calories in one ear of corn are equivalent to those in 1 to 1.5 bowls of rice.

     In actual dietary practice, it is recommended to appropriately combine foods according to individual needs and preferences to ensure balanced nutrition and good health.
