Sweetcorn question

A certain cal counting app says corn on the cob is more cals than the same amount of loose sweetcorn... Is it more calories if you eat it off the cob?
 
I cant understand why corn on the cob would be more calories - my only thought it that the weight they are referring to is the WHOLE cob including the bit we dont eat? I realise that sounds bit silly but sometimes on myfitnesspal I see HUGE discrepancies between calories of the same food.... sometimes i check several rather than just going for the top of the list...

maybe that's it, the whole thing! Crazy!

I've noticed the differences too. Better to weigh and work it out from the packet if poss x
