Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Fats are the slowest source of energy but the most energy-efficient form of food. Each gram of fat supplies the body with about 9 calories, more than twice that supplied by proteins or carbohydrates. Because fats are such an efficient form of energy, the body stores any excess energy as fat.

Detailed explanation-2: -Carbohydrates, proteins, and fats are the source of energy, so they are energy nutrients. Carbohydrates and proteins are the main sources of energy in our bodies. Fats store the energy and provide it when needed.

Detailed explanation-3: -The body uses three main nutrients to function-carbohydrate, protein, and fat. Carbohydrate is the nutrient that most affects your blood sugar. Protein and fat do not raise blood sugar as much as carbohydrate does.
