Compare the energy level of carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids.

Carbohydrates provide 4 kcal per gram, proteins also yield 4 kcal per gram, whereas lipids are the most energy-dense, providing 9 kcal per gram. Lipids serve as long-term energy storage, while carbohydrates offer quick energy and proteins primarily function in body repair and growth.
