Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Glucose, or blood sugar, is the main source of energy for your body’s cells, tissues, and organs. Glucose can be used immediately or stored in the liver and muscles for later use.

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.
