This is my guess, so correct me if I'm wrong. The food that is consumed contains nutrients, but in order to get those nutrients chemical reactions in the enzymes and proteins must break down the food. Once this happens, the body is able to make use of the nutrients. The nutrients then provide energy in the body.
