Patients should consume all the carbohydrates and reasonable amount of fats in their diet to get adequate calories. This is to supply non-protein calories to spare further protein breakdown. If the energy intake is not sufficient, the body starts breaking the tissue proteins to supply energy which further aggravates the problem

I agree that a body should take in enough energy, but the thing is, if a person takes in so much energy by eating lots of carbohydrates and fats, but doesn't use it, it'll be stored in the body (as fat?), and that will lead to the person gaining weight.

Yes, eating carb is good for energy, as long as you use that energy up by exercising.

Unused carbohydrates are turned into sugar in the body which can cause problems. People who are diabetic are told by there doctors not to eat too many carbs, particularly things like white bread, bananas and apples.

It's really important to have a balance between your carb intake and your protein intake. If you eat too much carbs, like me, you will end up being tired much of the time. How much you eat and what your body requires depends on how much you exercise and how active of a person you are. This is why I don't require much food, because i don't really do much
