Carbohydrates, proteins and fats (lipid) are the main components of our food. Carbohydrates can be simple sugars or complex carbohydrates made of simple sugars. Carbohydrates are mainly used as fuel by the body. Excess sugar is stored in the form of glycogen in the body.
Lipids are hydrophobic carbon compounds. Lipids are used to make cell membranes and steroid hormones. Excess lipids are stored as energy reserves for future.
Proteins are polymers of amino acids. They are used to build body tissues, especially muscles. Amino acids can also be used as fuel, or converted to sugar or fat. Excess amino acids cannot be stored in the body. Amino acids are degraded in the liver and excess waste products are eliminated in the urine.
