Carbohydrates are the sugars, starches and fibers found in fruits, grains, vegetables and milk products.

Complex carbohydrates are made up of sugar molecules that are strung together in long, complex chains.

Proteins are essential nutrients for the human body. They are one of the building blocks of body tissue and can also serve as a fuel source.

The body uses fat as a fuel source, and fat is the major storage form of energy in the body. Fat also has many other important functions in the body, and a moderate amount is needed in the diet for good health. Fats in food come in several forms, including saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated.

Simple carbohydrates are broken down quickly by the body to be used as energy.
