Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Carbohydrates-fiber, starches and sugars-are essential food nutrients that your body turns into glucose to give you the energy to function. Complex carbs in fruits, vegetables and whole-grain products are less likely to spike blood sugar than simple carbs (sugars).

Detailed explanation-2: -The macronutrients-carbohydrate, protein, and fat-are the only nutrients that provide energy to the body. The energy from macronutrients comes from their chemical bonds.

Detailed explanation-3: -Carbohydrates are the nutrients most frequently used as an energy source (containing 4kcal per gram), as they are fast-acting and turn into energy as soon as they are ingested. This energy powers the brain and body. The energy that powers the brain and body is generated when carbohydrates are broken down.
