the most preferred body fuel is taken from the carbohydrates, that is easy to break into sugar molecules, which is subsequently converted into ATP (the energy molecule). Once the sugar is enter into the cell, the glycolysis, Krebs cycle, citric acid cycle and finally it end up with the production of energy by the oxidative phosphorylation inside the mitochondria.

Glucose is used by all body tissues and is the preferred fuel in most. Fatty acids (from triglycerides) can be used by the heart and are the preferred fuel for skeletal muscle in extended exercise (walking/running/cycling/swimming for more than 20 minutes).
