That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
Carbohydrates are the body's preferred source of energy because they can be easily broken down and converted into glucose, which is the primary fuel for the body's cells. This process is efficient and provides a quick and readily available source of energy. Additionally, carbohydrates spare fats by preventing the breakdown of fats for energy, allowing them to be used for other important functions in the body.
