In a hamburger we consume approximately 29 grams of carbohydrates, 20 grams of proteins and 17 grams of lipids. Think about a busy person and the amount of macromolecules that person consumes each week. When a person eats carbohydrates, their body breaks down the carbohydrates into basic sugars. These sugars are absorbed into the bloodstream. When your sugar level rises, your pancreas releases a hormone called insulin. Insulin is needed to move sugar from the blood into the cells. Bile is formed by the liver. This greatly increases the surface area that allows lipase, a pancreatic enzyme that digests fat, to aid digestion. After digestion, fatty acids combine with cholesterol and bile to move into the cell mucosa where they are transformed back into large molecules. In other words, don't consume a lot of it
