All macronutrients (protein, carbohydrates and fats) can be used to supply the body with energy. However, carbohydrates are the body's primary energy source. Fats are involved in roles such as insulating the body and helping the body make use of certain vitamins. The role of proteins includes supporting tissues and cells, transporting nutrients and contributing to immune response.
