Explanation

Carbohydrates, proteins, and fats are macronutrients because the body needs them in large amounts (grams) daily. They provide energy (calories): carbs and proteins provide 4 calories/gram, fats provide 9 calories/gram. Micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) are needed in smaller amounts (milligrams/micrograms).
