Carbohydrates in your body are stored as glycogen, a large carbohydrate molecule made up of hundreds or thousands of smaller units of glucose, a simple sugar. Your body can also convert carbohydrates into fat for long-term energy storage.
Carbohydrates and the Brain. The main function of carbohydrates in your diet is to provide energy and fuel to your body, especially your brain. Carbohydrates break down into glucose in your body, which is then used as energy. Complex carbohydrates are carbs that break down more slowly in your system, providing a more gradual energy source than simple carbohydrates, which can cause spikes to your blood sugar and energy levels.
