I see my diary has logged 300g cholestrol yet I eat only plant based which is cholesterol free. Would someone look at my entries and see where? Thanks

Your diary isn't public, so we can't see.
Did some research: All plant foods are considered “cholesterol-free.” Well, it would be more accurate to say that plant foods do not contain any animal cholesterol. Plants contain their own special forms of cholesterol called “phytosterols”, but phytosterols are toxic to human cells, so our intestines wisely refuse to absorb them.
Some plants that are higher in this are, beans, avocados and olives.
Also, if you consume dairy, that is also a source of cholesterol1 -

You can look at each food. The app was adding sugar grams to some of my entries.0
