👉 Carbohydrates (Carbs): Carbs are the body's primary source of energy. They are found in foods such as grains, fruits, and vegetables.

👉 Protein: Protein is essential for building and repairing muscles, bones, and other tissues. It is found in foods such as lean meats, fish, eggs, dairy, and legumes.

👉Fat: Fat is an important source of energy and helps the body absorb vitamins. It is found in foods such as oils, nuts, and seeds.
