How do you define "healthy fat"? The fat did not only come from olive oil if you have 124 mg of cholesterol per serving. Cholesterol is a fat that comes from animals.
I'm not arguing for or against dietary cholesterol -- just suggesting that a closer look at your preconceptions about fats, as they don't seem to be internally consistent.
Oh, and the amount of fat/cholesterol will not affect your rate of weight loss, assuming that your net calories remain consistent.0 -
Dietary cholesterol has little to no effect on cutting or weight loss.0

Yep, except for a handful of people with certain genetics.
Heck, the USDA recently removed the requirement to have cholesterol on labels due to the lack of evidence between the link of dietary and serum cholesterol.
Side note, there has been evidence that suggest foods high in monounsaturated, polyunsaturated and omega 3 fatty acids can help with cholesterol. Also, for most people weight loss in general will have the biggest impact on cholesterol numbers.0
