Carbs are the BEST for your body...it is the FASTEST source of energy. Complex carbs (like whole grains) will give you an energy boost that will last for hours. Fats are a good source of energy, but it takes more energy for your body to break that down to....correct me if Im wrong...amylase and lipase??
I think thats the correct terminology. Carbs are pretty much already broken down, so it doesnt take a lot of energy.
