Let’s go step by step to fill in the chart correctly.
We are given 4 nutrient groups already:
- Protein
- Carbohydrates (Sugar)
- Carbohydrates (Starch)
- Fats
And we have blank rows labeled “Enter text here” — we can leave those blank or add more nutrients if needed, but since the task doesn’t specify, we’ll focus on filling the first 4 rows with accurate info.
For each nutrient group, we need to list:
1. A food that contains it
2. What it does for the human body
---
Step 1: Protein
→ Food with protein: Chicken, eggs, beans, tofu, fish
→ Use in body: Builds and repairs muscles, makes enzymes and hormones
Let’s pick one simple example:
Chicken
Use:
Helps build strong muscles and repair tissues
---
Step 2: Carbohydrates (Sugar)
→ These are simple carbs — found in fruits, candy, soda, honey
→ Use: Gives quick energy
Example food:
Banana (natural sugar) or
Candy bar (added sugar) — let’s use
Apple (healthy choice)
Use:
Gives your body fast energy for playing or thinking
---
Step 3: Carbohydrates (Starch)
→ Complex carbs — found in bread, rice, pasta, potatoes, oats
→ Use: Gives long-lasting energy
Example food:
Bread or
Rice — let’s use
Whole wheat bread
Use:
Gives steady energy throughout the day
---
Step 4: Fats
→ Found in oils, butter, nuts, avocado, fatty fish
→ Use: Stores energy, protects organs, helps absorb vitamins
Example food:
Avocado or
Peanut butter — let’s use
Nuts
Use:
Stores energy and keeps you warm; helps brain work well
---
Now, let’s write this neatly into the chart format as requested.
Note: The chart has extra rows labeled “Enter text here” — since no instructions say to fill them, we’ll leave them blank unless asked otherwise. But to be helpful, I’ll suggest adding two more common nutrients: Vitamins and Minerals — just in case the student wants to complete the whole sheet.
But per strict reading of the task — only the named rows must be filled. So we’ll do only the 4 given.
Wait — actually, looking again: the user didn’t ask to add more — so we stick to the 4 provided.
Final check:
✔ Protein → Chicken → Builds muscles
✔ Sugar → Apple → Quick energy
✔ Starch → Bread → Long energy
✔ Fats → Nuts → Energy storage + brain health
All correct and age-appropriate.

Final Answer:
Nutrients Group | Food with nutrients in | Its use for the human body
---|---|---
Protein | Chicken | Builds and repairs muscles
Carbohydrates (Sugar) | Apple | Gives quick energy
Carbohydrates (Starch) | Whole wheat bread | Provides lasting energy
Fats | Nuts | Stores energy and supports brain function
*(Leave remaining "Enter text here" rows blank unless instructed to add more nutrients.)*
