Carbohydrates are the main source of energy for the body. They occur in the form of sugars (simple and complex) and fiber. The sugars are converted into glucose, which provides energy. This energy can be used immediately or is stored for later use. Excess carbohydrate intake will cause the glucose to be stored in the form of fat.
