Starches and sugars are the main energy-providing carbohydrates, and supply 4 kilocalories (17 kilojoules) per gram.

The types of carbohydrates used to produce energy include starches and digestive glucoses.

Examples of carbohydrates that produce energy are fruits, vegetables, pasta, bread, and milkshakes. Some of these foods are on the healthy side of carbohydrate production, and some are on the unhealthy side. With carbohydrates in one’s system, they are endowed a great amount of energy to get them going during whatever action they have to physically do.
