Cholesterol Content of Some Favorite Foods
Individuals are often told to monitor their cholesterol consumption. This can be diffi cult if people don't know how much cholesterol their daily diet contains.
People with heart problems or at risk for heart problems or those with high cholesterol will often be instructed by a doctor to make dietary changes to reduce cholesterol consumption. Generally the guideline is to take in 300 or fewer milligrams per day of dietary cholesterol.
