What is the major fuel source of fuel for the body during rest and light activity proteins carbohydrates fats vitamins?

At rest and during normal activities, fats contribute 80–90% of our energy; carbohydrates provide 5–18% and protein 2–5%. During exercise there are four major endogenous sources of energy: muscle carbohydrate stores (glycogen), blood sugar, blood fatty acids, and intramuscular triacylglycerols.

Which nutrient is a source of fuel for the body?

Carbohydrates are the fuel that keeps the engine of your body running, and are the primary source of fuel for your brain and red blood cells. True, your body uses fat for fuel, too.

What is the primary fuel for the body quizlet?

Carbohydrates contain glucose (blood sugar), the main fuel of the body.

Are vitamins a major source of energy for the body?

Vitamins and minerals are a form of nutrient (called micronutrients) that are needed in small amounts. Although micronutrients don't give us energy, they are involved in the metabolic processes that enable us to get energy from carbohydrates, protein and fat, which are also known as macronutrients.
