Carbohydrates are the main source of energy for the body. They fuel brain function and physical activities. Excess carbohydrates are stored as glycogen in muscles and liver. Fats are concentrated sources of energy. They help in insulation of the body, protect vital organs, and assist in absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K).
