starch is the nutrient that provides greatest amount of energy. during the process of digestion starch is converted into maltose which is then converted into glucose. breaking down of 1 glucose molecule provides 2780kilo joules of energy.

∙ 11y agoThe nutrients which release energy in the body are glucose and fats.
Glucose is often used first, and fat is stored.
However, fats actually release more energy than glucose. 1 gram of fat releases 39 kJ of energy, whereas 1 gram of glucose releases only 17 kJ of energy.
