Simpe sugars are fourd nsweets and fruits. Starches are found i n potatoes, cereal, pasta, flour, and ctner plan: products.Proteins are used i n bony structures such a s musdes, skn, and hair. Rich sources of proteins n d u d emeats, da 7 products, and beansLip d s {fatsand oils) are used for energy, insulation, and a s an essential building bock of oels.
