When you eat carbs, your body breaks them into glucose, which cells use right away to make ATP - the energy that powers your muscles and brain. Extra glucose gets stored as glycogen in your liver and muscles, and sugars also feed chemical reactions in your body so cells can work properly.
Amino acids: Proteins are broken into amino acids, which are the building blocks your body uses to make new proteins like muscle, skin, enzymes, and antibodies.
Amino acids also help your body's chemistry by making hormones and
neurotransmitters, and they can be used for energy if needed.

Fatty acids: Fats are broken into fatty acids and glycerol, giving your body a long-lasting source of energy that is stored in fat cells for later use. Fatty acids also help build cell membranes, protect and insulate organs, help your body absorb certain vitamins, and are used to make important chemical messengers.

When you eat carbohydrates, they’re broken down into glucose, which cells use immediately to make ATP—the energy that powers your muscles and brain—while excess glucose is stored as glycogen in the liver and muscles and also participates in biochemical reactions that keep cells functioning. Proteins are digested into amino acids, the building blocks your body uses to synthesize new proteins like muscle, skin, enzymes, and antibodies; amino acids also make hormones and neurotransmitters and can be used for energy when needed. Fats are broken into fatty acids and glycerol, providing a long-lasting energy source stored in fat cells, and fatty acids are essential for building cell membranes, insulating and protecting organs, aiding absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, and forming important chemical messengers.
