That is a very complex question. The simplest I can answer is protein maintain your muscle tissue (heart lungs, brain etc). Carbohydrates are for quick energy and storage. Fat is used for making hormones, in body tissues, for warmth and as fuel storage.
This is an informative podcast that may help you.
