Carbohydrates is a strong source of ATP (adinosinetriphosphate) aka energy. Example: marathon runners need a great deal of energy to continue to run long distances and need fat/carbs to make the distance. If not the runner uses protein (their muscle). Carbs also transfer into fat which if your metabolism is fast would be essential to maintain weight.
