What I know is...NAD+ gets 2 e- from the breaking and become NAD- (it's reduction). After that, as a H+ carrier, NAD- bonded with 2 H+ ions and become NADH+H (same thing happen to FADH2). Usually most books write only NADH for convenience, but the truth is A single molecule of NAD can carry up to 2 H+ ions.
About the electron, I think both NAD+ and FAD+ get it from the breaking of hydrocarbon bonds.
Hope this clear..
