A member asked:
Do doctors think it's healthier to get your calories from carbohydrates or lipids?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Caloric intake: Balance of the dietary intake for calories, not a single source of calories as "better" is what is absolutely necessary. With each dietary source--protein, carb, fats--comes vitamins, minerals, and proteins unique to each source which are essential in the diet.
