Hi you guys. I have a question, it may sound doubt or naive but here it goes.
I've been eating below or close to the daily limit amount of calorie intake. But recently, i stumbled upon my daily nutrition board and i've notice that my cholesterol intake seems higher than what is recommended for me.
Will this affect my weight loss effort?
Is it bad that i stay below my permitted calories but sometimes have a higher cholesterol intake?
Need i stay below my calories AND cholesterol intake in order to lose weight effectively?
Thanks in advance for your opinion and suggestion.
Cheers!

    Basically, cholesterol affects things like your arteries in your body. It can get built up in there and lead to blockages, leading a stroke, for example.

    Your weight loss comes through a calorie deficit.

    Since you know your cholesterol is running high, why not take time, with your food diary, and check out the cholesterol amounts in the foods you are choosing to eat? Maybe you can learn to chose more heart healthy foods, with lower amounts of cholesterol. It can only help you.

    I monitor cholesterol in my foods. I have cholesterol set to one the things I track.

    Hope this helps you.

    Cholesterol in an egg is good for you.
    Next time you ask a question, give numbers, give foods, or open your diary.
    Otherwise people just have to guess what you are eating and how much.

    My thoughts too. You're most likely getting over from eggs which is fine.
