Detailed explanation-1: -Triglycerides also come from extra calories. These are the calories that you eat, but your body does not need right away. Your body changes these extra calories into triglycerides and stores them in fat cells. When your body needs energy, it releases the triglycerides.
Detailed explanation-2: -Triglycerides are the predominant form of fatty acid storage in the body of humans and many other organisms. They consist of three fatty acid tails attached to a single molecule of glycerol.
Detailed explanation-3: -The main type of fat we consume, triglycerides are especially suited for energy storage because they pack more than twice as much energy as carbohydrates or proteins. Once triglycerides have been broken down during digestion, they are shipped out to cells through the bloodstream.
