What are the major sources of carbohydrates and main energy food?
Mark Enrile, Philippines
Carbohydrates are one of the three major macro-nutrients which supply the body with energy. Fat and protein are the others. It is recommended that about 55% of our daily calories should come from carbohydrates, 15 % from protein and 30 % from fat.
Carbohydrates take the form of sugars, oligosaccharides, starches and fibres. The major sources of carbohydrates are cereals, pulses, potatoes. But also fruit and vegetables contain carbohydrates and even milk.
