Triglycerides are lipids in a way. A lipid is a broad category of macromolecules. In this category is fatty acids. One triglyceride consists of a glycerol back bone and 3 fatty acids. Doing this is a way for your body to store fatty acids. So Yes, in a way a triglyceride is a lipid, but don't forget that the category "Lipid" is made up of other molecules as well.
