Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Carbohydrates, or carbs, are sugar molecules. Along with proteins and fats, carbohydrates are one of three main nutrients found in foods and drinks. Your body breaks down carbohydrates into glucose. Glucose, or blood sugar, is the main source of energy for your body’s cells, tissues, and organs.

Detailed explanation-2: -Protein can be metabolized and used as an energy source for the body, but it’s not the “preferred” source of energy. Our bodies are all about efficiency, and carbohydrates are our primary source of food energy because they’re fast-acting and can be easily broken down into usable glucose.

Detailed explanation-3: -Humans obtain energy from three classes of fuel molecules: carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins. The potential chemical energy of these molecules is transformed into other forms, such as thermal, kinetic, and other chemical forms.
