Carbohydrates (often called "Carbs" for short) provide the body with a ready source of energy, although other forms of food such as fats and proteins can also be used for this. When absorbed from the gut and metabolized they provide the glucose that cells convert to energy. The greatest consumer of glucose in the body is the brain.
