Understanding the main differences between carbohydrates, proteins, and fats on nutrition labels is important for making smart food choices.

1. Carbohydrates:

   • They give you 4 calories for every gram.
   • They usually make up 45% to 65% of the calories you eat each day.
   • Carbs include sugars, starches, and fibers.

2. Proteins:

   • They also provide 4 calories for every gram.
   • Proteins should be about 10% to 35% of your total calorie intake.
   • They help your body repair tissues and build muscles.

3. Fats:

   • Fats provide the most calories, giving you 9 calories for every gram.
   • It's good to keep your fat intake between 20% to 35% of your daily calories.
   • Fats are divided into three types: saturated, unsaturated, and trans fats.

On nutrition labels, you can see how many grams of these nutrients are in each serving. This helps you manage what you eat based on your health goals and dietary needs.
