As a fuel, proteins provide as much energy density as carbohydrates: 4 kcal (17 kJ) per gram; in contrast, lipids provide 9 kcal (37 kJ) per gram.

The most important aspect and defining characteristic of protein from a nutritional standpoint is its amino acid composition.

A cereal is any grass cultivated for the edible components of its grain (botanically, a type of fruit called a caryopsis), composed of the endosperm, germ, and bran.

Cereal grains are grown in greater quantities and provide more food energy worldwide than any other type of crop and are therefore staple crops.

Edible grains from other plant families, such as buckwheat (Polygonaceae), quinoa (Amaranthaceae) and chia (Lamiaceae), are referred to as pseudocereals.

Sugar is the generic name for sweet, soluble carbohydrates, many of which are used in food.

There are various types of sugar derived from different sources.

Simple sugars are called monosaccharides and include glucose (also known as dextrose), fructose, and galactose.

The "table sugar" or "granulated sugar" most customarily used as food is sucrose, a disaccharide of glucose and fructose.

Sugar is used in prepared foods (e.g., cookies and cakes) and it is added to some foods and beverages (e.g., coffee and tea).

In the body, sucrose is hydrolysed into the simple sugars fructose and glucose.

Other disaccharides include maltose from malted grain, and lactose from milk.

Longer chains of sugars are called oligosaccharides or polysaccharides.

Some other chemical substances, such as glycerol may also have a sweet taste, but are not classified as sugars.

Low-calorie food substitutes for sugar, described as artificial sweeteners, include aspartame and sucralose, a chlorinated derivative of sucrose.
