    There are three main types of lipids found in the diet: triglycerides, phospholipids, and sterols. Triglycerides make up 95% of dietary lipids and are found in foods like fried foods, dairy, meats, avocados, nuts, corn, and olives. Phospholipids comprise 2% of dietary lipids and are sourced from animals and plants. Sterols are the least common lipid, with cholesterol being a primary source, though the body produces most of the cholesterol it needs and only a small amount comes from food.

    Sources of lipids
    There are three main types of lipids: triacylglycerols (triglycerides), phospholipids, and
    sterols. The major source of lipids falls under these three types.
    Triglycerides
    Majority of the lipids, 95 percent, in the diet are triglycerides. Some common sources of this
    type of lipid are fried foods, dairy products such as milk, cheese, and butter, and some meats.
    Natural triacylglycerols are found in foods like avocados, buts, corn, and olives.
    Phospholipids
    This group makes up only about two percent of the lipids found in the diet. Animals and
    plants are sources of this type of lipid.
    Sterols
    This group is the least common type of lipid. Cholesterol is a major source of sterols. The
    body produces majority of its cholesterol while only a small amount is obtained through
    foods.
