Which of the following are known as energy-giving foods?

Foods containing fats and carbohydrates are called ‘energy-giving foods’. Both carbohydrates and fats are very important nutrients and provide energy for the body to perform a number of tasks. 

Carbohydrates form a major part of our daily diet and can be obtained from wheat, rice, bread, cereals, sugars, potato, maize, etc. 

Fats and oils can be obtained from both plant and animal sources. Some important plant sources of fats are mustard oil, olive oil, soybean oil, coconut oil, nuts, etc., and animal sources of fats include ghee, butter, eggs, cheese, etc.

Fats even when taken in small amounts provide more energy compared to carbohydrates. 

Thus, bread and butter are energy-giving foods.
