Carbohydrates, the principal energy source for all body functions, are classified as organic and energy nutrients. Carbohydrates also spare protein from being used as energy, oxidize fats, and synthesize fatty acids and amino acids. The central nervous system relies solely upon carbohydrates for energy.
