Carbohydrates are macronutrients.
IS a MACRONUTRIENT
It's neither.
Protein and carbohydrates are macronutrients.
Macronutrients are either proteins, carbohydrates, or fats. They are considered macro because the body needs them in pretty large amounts. Vitamins and minerals are considered micronutrients, because the body only needs them in small amounts.
carbohydrates
5% carbohydrates, 60% proteins, and 35% fats
Animals: macronutrients are carbohydrates, proteins, fats.Plants: macronutrients are divided into 3 different classes. [1] structural = carbon, hydrogen, oxygen [2] primary - potassium, nitrogen, phosphorus [3] secondary - calcium, magnesium, sulfur
Iron, potassium and iodine are examples of chemical elements, not carbohydrates.
Carbohydrates are digested more quickly than fat.
The chemical structure of alcohol is similar to the macronutrient carbohydrate.The primary reason for this is that alcohol can be derived from the fermentation of sugars and it is an organic compound. However when looking at the basic structure of an alcohol, it more closely resembles the inorganic micronutrient water, as one of the hydrogen atoms of water is replaced by the alkyl group of alcohol.
Acceptable macronutrient distribution ranges. 45%-65% should come from carbohydrates. 20-35% from fats, and 15-20% from protein.
Carbohydrates belong to the macronutrient category and are one of the main sources of energy for the body. They include sugars, starches, and fiber, with simple carbohydrates found in foods like fruits and honey, and complex carbohydrates found in foods like whole grains and vegetables.
