Analyze the definition of the options

• Calorie: A unit of measurement for energy, not a physical substance.
• Nutrient: Any ingested substance used by the body to produce energy, provide building blocks, or support metabolic processes.
• Molecule: A general chemical term for two or more atoms bonded together, not specific to dietary substances used for energy and growth.

Match the question criteria

• The question asks for an "ingested substance" used for "energy" and "building blocks."
• This matches the biological definition of a nutrient.
