Could someone please help explain what this means

Carbohydrate is a protein-sparring nutrient????


Thanks so much!! I appreciate it
 
Because the body would rather use carbs than protein as a fuel source. When this happens it leaves protein (actually amino acids) to be used as building blocks and not a fuel source.
