Triglycerides---non Sequitur

Just received my blood work results from my lab and while my cholesterol results are somewhat borderline, my triglycerides level is around 25.

Some of the main factors of a low tri score is a low carb, low sugar diet, neither of which I am a stranger to. I eat fairly healthy but my intake of sugar and carbs is quite pronounced (desserts, cookies, breads, etc). My height is 5'8" @ 135 lbs. My wife cannot believe the amount of sweets that I ingest over the course of a week.

Regarding other health issues, there are none, to speak of. I think I have been ill once (one day) over the past decade. Is this a case of a system that is pretty efficient in burning all the calories ingested, with little if any storage of unburned calories?

I am quite physically and mentally active--pretty Type A when it comes to restlessness and not being able to sit still.

Any answers or speculation would be most welcome
