Triglycerides are the most common type of lipid found in foods. They consist of three fatty acids attached to a glycerol backbone. Phospholipids are important for cell membranes, sterols like cholesterol have specific roles in the body (e.g., in cell membranes and as a precursor for hormones), and lipoproteins are complexes that transport lipids in the bloodstream. But when considering the proportion in foods, triglycerides are the major component.
