1 answer

Proteins are classified as a macronutrient. Macronutrients are the nutrients that provide energy and are required in larger amounts in the diet, which include proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. Vitamins and minerals are classified as micronutrients, and calories are a measure of energy rather than a nutrient itself.
