Carbohydrates do not "contain" energy. They are converted into an energy molecule called ATP by the body, and it is ATP that is the body's energy source. In addition, carbohydrates are the ONLY source of energy that the body can use safely. If fats, proteins, or alcohol are used instead, this can lead to illness in the body because of dangerous byproducts called ketones.
