Fat, carbohydrates, and calories provide energy for the body but have different structures and functions. Fat is made up of fatty acids and glycerol and provides long-term energy storage. It is also essential for absorbing vitamins and maintaining temperature and skin/hair health. Carbohydrates include sugars, starches, and fibers made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. They provide short-term energy, especially for the brain and muscles. Calories are a unit used to measure the energy in food, defined as the energy needed to raise 1 gram or kilogram of water by 1 degree Celsius.
