malnourishment is most commonly caused by poor nutrient intake, not calories (at least in the U.S.A). Many people are considered malnourished but are actually overweight, because they consume food with a poor nutrient density (foods that do not have a wide variety of nutrients, usually high in fats and calories).
In food, there are three macronutrients that provide energy. They are fat, carbohydrates, and protein. Fat is the nutrient that provides the greatest amount of energy at nine calories per gram. Protein and carbohydrates provide only four calories per gram.
One should get all three macronutrients in their diet(protein, carb, fats)get 30% of calories from protein60% of calories from complex carbohydrates10% of calories from essential fats.
