There are six classes of nutrients found in food. Carbohydrates, lipids (fats & oils), proteins, vitamins, minerals, and water. These nutrients are vital in three functional categories:
1. Providing calories for your body's energy needs
2. Important for your body's growth, development, and maintenance
3. And keeping your body functions running smoothly
The energy-yielding nutrients, carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, make up a major portion of most foods.
