Protein sparer refers to the concept that the body will use carbohydrates and fats for energy, sparing protein to be used primarily for building and repairing tissues. This term highlights the importance of having an adequate intake of carbohydrates and fats in the diet to prevent the breakdown of protein for energy.

Carbohydrates are called a "protein sparer" because they can be broken down and used as a source of energy instead of proteins. This allows proteins to be used primarily for their essential functions, such as enzyme production, hormone synthesis, and repairing tissues, rather than being used as a source of energy.
