You could but I don't see the point. Your body is more complex than this and doesn't conserve nutrients in a straightforward way. Plus you'd have only a small and fixed amount of categories anyway. You'd be better off using a spreadsheet and processing it with custom scripts using r or pandas. Double entry bookkeeping won't help you for this.
