Category: Cholesterol

This category covers cholesterol-focused eating: our high cholesterol low-fat food list, low cholesterol food list of 102 foods, keto and high cholesterol (does LDL rise, and when to worry), and calorie-controlled recipes like our 358-calorie low cholesterol beef orzo. Content is written for readers whose LDL, non-HDL, or ApoB has come back elevated.

Food lists give per-100-g cholesterol in mg, saturated fat, soluble fiber (which lowers LDL), and sodium, pulled from USDA FoodData Central and cross-checked against Nutritionix. Recipes stay under 30% of calories from total fat and under 7% from saturated fat, in line with AHA guidance. Where a food is high in dietary cholesterol but low in saturated fat (eggs, shrimp), we say so plainly rather than banning it.

All cholesterol content is written or reviewed by a Registered Dietitian on our team (Brenda Peralta, Kerly Cordova, Marita Radloff, or Karolina Peterova) and medically reviewed by Franco Cuevas, MD, before publication. Nothing here replaces your lipid panel or your doctor. Corrections go to social@dietsmealplan.com.
