Yes, there are three types of Macro-nutrients. These include; carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Carbohydrates can be divided into three categories; simple, complex, and fiber. Fiber is not nutritious but none the less and important part of the diet. Sugars fall into the simple carbohydrate category, not as healthy as the complex category (think oatmeal).
Many people think of vitamins and minerals when the think of nutrients, these are called micro-nutrients.
