All foods are made up of the nutritional building blocks of carbohydrates, fats, and protein plus a certain amount of water and fiber (undigestible and without any food value). Carbohydrates contain 4.1 Calories per gram and are the primary source of energy for most cyclists as well as athletes involved in short, maximum performance events. Fats are more important for slower endurance events. Protein, is used to maintain and repair cells, and is rarely a source of energy except in certain unique situations (such as malnutrition).
