noncarbohydrate
Lacking sugars, starches
Noncarbohydrate describes or refers to substances that are not carbohydrates—typically proteins, fats, or other organic compounds.
In nutrition and biochemistry, the term distinguishes energy sources and molecular components: noncarbohydrate calories, noncarbohydrate sweeteners.
The body can produce glucose from noncarbohydrate sources through gluconeogenesis.
