egg yolks
meat
poultry
seafood
whole-milk dairy products (including milk, cheese, and ice cream)
Eat healthy snacks that are low in fat and cholesterol
fruit
raw vegetables and low-fat dips
plain unsalted popcorn or pretzels
low-fat yogurt and gelatin
Replace some meals of red meat with
poultry
fish
beans
peas
lentils
tofu
soy products (many on the market today are very tasty and mimic hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken fingers, etc.)
Stay away from butter or stick margarine. Use liquid vegetable oil for cooking and tub margarine for table use.
Limit intake of commercially prepared baked goods and treats.
Avoid soda and sugary fruit drinks
because excess sugar is transformed into fats.

that is not a terribly high count...yes anything over 200 is bad but u are not that high.
fish oil pills are good- not very expensive (warning they are large gel pills) but the have been proven to lower col. no rx needed-over the counter.
diet is important
good luck

oil is good for it too......that is what my
dad did for his cholesterol count and it came
