Carbohydrates are one of
the major types of nutrients
or macronutrients. They
give energy to your body.
Without energy, your body
cannot work, play, and
move around. Your digestive
system changes
carbohydrates into glucose
or sugar. This sugar provides
your body with energy for
your cells, tissues, and
organs

Proteins make your bones
and muscles grow. They
provide structural support
to your body, help maintain
acid-base balance, allow
your body to build
hormones and enzymes,
transport various
substances throughout
your body, and allow your
immune system to function
properly. They are body-
building foods.

Fats provide you with fatty acids
which are essential to your
health. Fats also allow you to
absorb certain vitamins called fat-
soluble vitamins, protect organs,
help maintain your body
temperature, and insulate you.
Like carbohydrates, fats are
referred to as macronutrients.
They are actually the most
energy-dense macronutrient,
providing nine calories per
program.

Vitamins help regulate chemical
reactions in the body. They are
considered micronutrients because
your body only needs them in small
amounts. Each vitamin has an
independent function, but vitamins
are grouped together because all of
them allow chemical reactions to
take place in your body. Vitamins
are divided into two categories
based on how your body absorb
them-fats-soluble and water-
soluble. The fat-soluble include
vitamins A, D, E, and K and the
water-soluble vitamins are vitamin
C and the B vitamins.
