    Ok, i'm just wondering if I have the right idea for these two terms.

    Anabolic - When your body takes protein and nutrients and makes muscle.
    Catabolic - When your body takes muscle and makes energy.

    Are they the basic ideas for the two terms?

    I guess that's the basic gist. But put even more simply:

    Anabolic- builds up (synthesis)
    Catabolic- breaks down (decomposition)
