Well, protein isn't a GOOD source of energy.

My guess would be none of them. Lipids are fats and a source of energy, carbs are definitely energy, vitamins and proteins help feed the body. So I'm guessing they all are sources.

Well, not really. You need a lot more energy to digest protein than you do with the others. It does repair injury and build muscle but it's dense.

Vitamins, they don't supply energy directly.

Yeah, I think I'm going to agree with luvmygrlz. Vitamins (especially B complex) are critical for energy production and use but not a direct supplier.

So is there even a solid answer to this question or is it pretty open?

Carbohydrates are your MAIN source of energy! Proteins are only a source of energy during extreme periods of starvation.
Also excess proteins is not converted to carbohydrate. They are broken down in the liver and excreted through sweat and Heine.

If the question is exactly as you've included in the original post, the answer is vitamins.

They don't directly supply the body with energy. They do help the body produce and use energy effectively though
