Can proteins and eats be used as an energy source if carbohydrates are not available?
Protein is responsible for the building and repair of muscle. It is only used as an energy source when there are not enough carbohydrates available for normal metabolic function. If you do not eat enough protein, your body doesn't have enough amino acids to create muscle and your muscles could atrophy. Too much protein, like all calories, will be stored as fat. ChaCha!

About Energy
Energy is used to do work. In our modern lives we are more and more preoccupied with finding new sources of energy to heat our buildings and move our machines, including cars. Since the dawn of the 20th century, fossil fuels have been the main way we get energy, but those forms of energy are causing environmental damage and leading to global warming. That is because the burning of fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. New forms of energy are being sought.
