"A healthy and nutritious diet involves six classes of nutrients: 1) carbohydrates; 2) fats; 3) proteins; 4) vitamins; 5) minerals; and, 6) water. Carbohydrate, fat, and protein are considered macronutrients [because our bodies require them in large quantities (grams/day)] and they yield energy. Vitamins and minerals are considered micronutrients [because our bodies need them in smaller amounts (milligrams or micrograms/day)] and instead of yielding energy, they help our bodies carry out necessary and important physiological processes"
