The answer is "amino acids".
 
Carbohydrates are easy to breakdown to make energy. But, if there is a carbohydrate deficiency, then the body will start to breakdown amino acids to make energy. The main energy sources are carbohydrates, fats and proteins. In order to keep the body alive, body will breakdown nucleic acids (RNA, DNA) when there is not enough food to make energy.
