Carbohydrates in FoodCarbs are one of three main nutrients in food, the others being fats and protein. There are three common types of carbs in foods: (1) Sugar; (2)Starch; and (3) Dietary fiber. Only sugar and starch is digested, as the human body lacks the digestive enzymes to break down (metabolize) dietary fiber in the intestinal tract.
