Three of the six, the energy nutrients, provide energy for the body

protein and fat it contains. Food energy, both in its consumption
and expenditure is measured in terms of Calories. Calories is nothing but the
fuel that your body needs to keep it going, to provide the energy you need

processes that go on inside your body like beating of heart and repair jobs
of tissue along with growth and development. One gram of lot contains nine
calories whereas one gram of either carbohydrates or protein contains only
four calories.

nutrient (60% of the body) and a major past of almost every cell and tissue;
vitamins, which serve as helpers, making it possible for other nutrients to
