In animals, energy cannot be stored in its currency format i.e. ATP. Every time we need energy, it has to be derived. The storage form of energy in animals are fats and carbohydrates. Proteins are involved in the building of muscles and it is not considered as a source of energy. Vitamins are essential to carry out this process of energy derivation called metabolism.
