There is nitrogen in some carbohydrates (chitin is an example, composed of N-acetylglucosamine), so nitrogen is not the answer.
Sulfur (in the amino acids cysteine and methionine) is probably the closest answer. I can't think of any examples of naturally occuring sulfur in carbohydrates or lipids, but nature is so diverse, I bet it exists.
