Tomatoes are a nutrient-dense food, meaning they are jam-packed with nutrients, but don't have a lot of calories. Lipids, carbs and protein are the three types of macronutrients your body breaks down for energy. The primary macronutrient in tomatoes is carbohydrates, although they do have trace amounts of fat and protein.
1 Carbohydrates are important in intestinal health and waste elimination. 2  Carbohydrates are mainly found in starchy foods (like grain and potatoes), fruits, milk, and yogurt. 3  Other foods like vegetables, beans, nuts, seeds and cottage cheese contain carbohydrates, but in lesser amounts.his means that if you looked at the Nutrition Facts label of a product and it said 12 grams of carbohydrate, 0 grams of fat, and 0 grams of protein per serving, you would know that this food has about 48 calories per serving (12 grams carbohydrate multiplied by 4 calories for each gram of carbohydrate = 48 calories).
