Grains (breads, pastas, cereals, etc), Protiens (low-fat meats, poultry, fish), and Fruits & Veggies. Sweets (sugars, etc) do as well, however this is not the recommended way to obtain energy.
Grains are carbd that convert to glucose, which converts into energy. However, unused portions of carbs do convert to fat. You have to make certain the grains you consume are whole grain, not refined. Whole grains digest properly, and convert properly.
Protiens (lower-fat meats) provide essentially...protien. Protien is power packed with energy because our muscles need the amino acids and enzymes to keep our muscles going. Go light on the red meats (make certain they are low-in fats), and up the fish intakes and also poultry as well.
And fruits & veggies offer us our necessary vitamins and minerals which help our bodies fuel better; and they help the protiens and energy from grains be utilized more properly. They also aid in digestion, and offer natural sugars which also aid in energy that burns off quickly and cleanly. Make certain if you cannot afford fresh all the time, opt for frozen instead of canned; canned items are depelted tremendously in vitamins and minerals. Frozen at least maintains more than canned. But fresh is always optimal.

There are actually four.
The "three" you're probably looking for are fat, carbs, and protein, but alcohol provides calories (and energy) as well.
