What's the difference between energy and nutrient?

Energy


Definition:

  • (n.) Power efficiently and forcibly exerted; vigorous or effectual operation; as, the energy of a magistrate.
  • (n.) Strength of expression; force of utterance; power to impress the mind and arouse the feelings; life; spirit; -- said of speech, language, words, style; as, a style full of energy.
  • (n.) Capacity for performing work.

Nutrient


Definition:

  • (a.) Nutritious; nourishing; promoting growth.
  • (n.) Any substance which has nutritious qualities, i. e., which nourishes or promotes growth.

Example Sentences:
