Energy producing (organic: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins. Non-energy producing (reused in the body: vitamins (organic, minerals (inorganic, water (inorganic) Composed of the elements: carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Simple carbohydrates: table sugar, blood glucose. Complex carbohydrates (polysaccharides: starch (in grains), glycogen. Triglycerides: major form of fat in food, key energy source, and fat storage in body, made up of fatty acids and glycerol, saturated, unsaturated, essential fatty acids, linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic aciid, trans fatty acids. Composed of the elements: carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen. Functions: major part of bone and muscle, components in blood, cell membranes, enzymes, and immune factors. Enable chemical reactions; provide no usable energy. Water-soluble: vitamins c and b complex, more easily excreted from the body, easily destroyed. Major minerals: required in gram amounts, sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium and phosphorus. Trace minerals: required in amounts <100 mg daily.
