Best Answer

It depends on what type of athlete you are

If you a sprinter the energy needed is just muscular power which derives from the energy system ATP-CP

If you are a middle distance runner you will use Carbohydrates.

If you are a long distance runner you will need Carbohydrates, Fats and if you are a

Triathlon runner or an ultra-marathon runner you will use Protein.

Carbohydrates are your Pasta's

Fats are you Steaks that have fats within

Proteins are some fruits and red meat
