Triglycerides are the main form of fat in foods. After eating, our liver will process them. It is normal that our blood contains certain levels of triglycerides. However, if you consume excess calories regardless from any source - carbohydrates, fats or protein, our body will transform the excess calories into triglycerides for storage as body fat. Therefore it is more common to see high triglycerides in overweight or obese individuals.
Similar to the LDL cholesterol, high triglycerides is associated with increased risk of heart disease.
