My mom has had high cholesterol as long as I can remember, and she isn't overweight and never has been. She's 4'11" and 95lbs. She was always told to not eat a lot of salt. Not only that, but shrimp, lobster, etc is high in cholesterol. Quail eggs are the highest in cholesterol out of all foods, in that tiny little thing. Also the sausage, bacon, etc has a lot of salt. I would suggest eating more fish if you want to try to cut out more meat.

Personally I like full fat yogurt and mayo, etc better than the low fat versions. They are more satisfying and I end up using less. I tried the low fat stuff before and it didn't have the right taste and I ended up using a whole lot more and it still didn't taste right. Like if light mayo is 1/3 less fat but I end up using double the amount I'm not saving anything. Also all the low fat dressings and mayo add a lot of sugar to help the taste.
