glucose
Carbohydrates are macronutrients that are made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. They are a primary source of energy for the body and are found in foods like fruits, vegetables, grains, and legumes.
Carbon is an element, but the definition of a nutrient is any substance which can be metabolized by an animal to give energy and build tissue. So YES, carbon can be a nutrient. Carbon in some forms however my not be available for metabolism and may be considered purely an element, such as diamond.
hydrogen has more binding energy than carbon
fat stored in fat cells supplies 60 percent
Nitrogen is the main nutrient that compost produces. Dark-colored, fresh-smelling, nutrient-rich compost results from 30 to 1 ratios of carbon- to nitrogen-rich recyclables since the former supplies the energy and the latter the food. The breakdown of compostables and their interaction with one another and with air, heat, macro- and micro-organisms, and moisture yields calcium, copper, hydrogen, iron, manganese, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, potassium and zinc.
Carbohydrates supply glucose as the main source of energy for the body.
Sugar (C12H22O11) is composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. These carbon comes from carbon dioxide (CO2) in the air and hydrogen (H2) and oxygen O2) from water. The energy for the converssion comes from sunlight.Sugar (C12H22O11) is composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.

Plants
The nutrient that supplies energy for almost all living things is glucose. Glucose is a form of sugar that is broken down through cellular respiration to release energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). This energy is then used for various biological processes in the cell.
GOOD: Hydrogen Energy leaves no carbon foot print at the point of use. BAD: Hydrogen Energy, currently, costs more to produce in economic terms and in carbon footprint at point of manufacture. Solar methods of production could reduce economic and carbon costs. PROBABLY BAD: Hydrogen Energy is touted as a solution to environmental problems. Not likely…
Although the body is able to use energy also from fat and protein, the most preffered nutrient for energy production in the body are carbohydrates.
