Where are carbohydrates lipids and proteins broke down in the GI tract?
Carbohydrates and proteins are digested in the stomach.

Proteins are also digested in the stomach, but require a general class of enzymes called proteases in order to be digested. Lipids are digested in the duodenum, the first portion of the small intestine. The secretion of lipase enzymes is necessary to complete this task.
