Energy Sources of our Body
Carbohydrates: Carbohydrates are your body's preferred source of energy. The human body turns all the carbs you eat into glucose, which provides a quick energy supply. Your body can also store carbohydrates in your liver and muscles as glycogen, which it can use later for energy when you need it. The carbohydrates you don’t need right away and that can’t be stored in the liver, are turned to fat.

Energy Sources of our Body
Fats/Lipids: Your body uses lipids to produce more than half its energy needs. Lipids provide more energy than carbohydrates. However the body converts only about 10% of fat into glucose for immediate energy use. The fatty acids that are formed from the fats you eat are stored in fat cells as triglycerides. Those fat cells have unlimited capacities. While stored fat can be used later when the body runs low on carbohydrates, it will take a while to use up the stored carbohydrates to require the use of stored fat as energy.

Energy Sources of our Body
Proteins: Your body will use proteins for energy only if it’s missing the other two nutrients. That’s because protein’s primary role is to build muscle, repair cells and create new ones, and distribute the nutrients you take in throughout the body. Proteins are formed by long strands of different amino acids. If the proteins aren’t needed for their primary purpose, these amino acids can break apart from the group and be oxidized to provide energy.
