What_are_some_frequently_asked_nutrition_questions
A nutrient is a macronutrient when it is needed by the body in larger amounts than micronutrients. The macronutrients are required in large amounts for living beings. Some macronutrients are: Nitrogen, Carbon& Potassium.
The 3 macro-nutrients are fat, carbohdrates, and protein.
Alcohol is also a macro-nutrient.
Animals: macronutrients are carbohydrates, proteins, fats.Plants: macronutrients are divided into 3 different classes.
[1] structural = carbon, hydrogen, oxygen
[2] primary - potassium, nitrogen, phosphorus
[3] secondary - calcium, magnesium, sulfur
Fluoride, selenium, sodium, iodine, copper and zinc are not macronutrients
There are three major macronutrtients. These include carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Other macronutrients include chemical elements humans consume the most, such as oxygen and carbon.
In no particular order:
1) Carbohydrate
2) Fat
3) Protein

Interestingly, our bodies use less energy to digest, transport, and store FAT, and relatively more to process protein and carbohydrate
Answer = Fat
balanced foods
