Proteins are made up of groups of twenty different amino acids. In the average adult, twelve of those acids are made in the body, and the other eight we have to ingest through our food. Those eight are called the essential amino acids. Amino acids cannot be stored in the body, so we need to eat foods regularly that contain the essential amino acids. We get most of our high quality proteins from meat and dairy products (Trefil & Hazen, 2013). Carbohydrates are made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms. They are very important in the acquiring and using of energy. Sugars are the most simple of the carbohydrate
