It is uncommon for a food item to yield positive results for both carbohydrate and lipid tests because these macronutrients are fundamentally different in structure and function. Carbohydrates are primarily sugars and starches, while lipids include fats and oils. Most foods are categorized as either carbohydrate-rich or lipid-rich, due to their distinct biochemical compositions. Therefore, when testing, a sample will typically show a positive result for one type of macronutrient but not both simultaneously.
