A member asked:

Which would be a better energy source in the long run-- cooked starch or fats?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Energy. : If you're looking for energy for the day, complex carbohydrates would be the way to go. Healthy meal every three hours or so, containing complex carbohydrates and fiber. And always eat breakfast - starts the day right.
