It depends ...

Explanation:

Group 1 is trying to obtain energy, so as we know that lipids and carbohydrates are the basic source of energy because of their storage properties and generation of ATP during glycolysis and lipid metabolism in our body.

Group 2 is trying to obtain nutrients so to rebuild their molecules and body cells they must take enough quantities of vitamins/minerals for that. Proteins are also crucial to for rebuilding lipo-proteins in cell wall of cell amke them crucial for them. They also play an important role in muscle cell repair and replacement due to their primary composition of actin and myosin filaments.
