Neutral fats such as triglycerides are made up of chains of fatty acids. These molecules are used for storing energy in the body. Also, as they form layers of fat in the body, they provide insulation to the body.

Any extra calories that are not required by our body are converted into triglycerides. The molecules of triglycerides are then stored in our body and used upon need.
