318- SIMPLE VS COMPLEX Besides fat and protein the other primary nutrient category is carbohydrate. Carbohydrates are either simple or complex. Simple carbohydrates (along with saturated fat the predominant nutrient in junk food) are absorbed rapidly and serve as a quick source of energy. Complex carbohydrates take longer to be absorbed (because of their larger ~ more complex - molecular arrangement) and supply energy over longer periods of time. Simple carbs are readily stored as fat and should be kept to a minimum.
