Protein is important because it as an essential unit to the body's nutrition and rebuilding efforts. It also helps to combat cholesterol and heart disease, along with filling you up, so you don't feel hungry later.

Oats have the highest proportion of soluble fiber of any grain (Americn Heart Association). Eddie's Energy Bars are loaded with oats, do give you that "I'm full" feeling.
Iron is essential for making hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen to other cells. It's also an important component of myoglobin (a protein that helps supply oxygen to your muscles), collagen (a protein in bone, cartilage, and other connective tissue), and many enzymes. What's more, iron helps you maintain a healthy immune system (babycenter.com) Iron is also very good for pregnant women.
Half of your calories should come from carbs. Carbs provide the body with glucose, which is the main fuel for the central nervous system, the brain. You need it for energy. You don't want to eliminate or avoid it. Carbs also provide the body with fiber, which fills us up and can help us manage weight and gastrointestinal health, among other things (HealthWatch).
