Cholesterol Diet Food

Enjoy a wide variety of foods regularly, including select cuts of meat, poultry, fish, dry beans, eggs and nuts each week. For more information about cholesterol diet food choices please read below:

• Choose chicken and turkey that has the skin removed. You can keep the skin on to seal in the juices so long as you remove the skin before eating.
  
• When selecting meat, choose leaner cuts, white meat, and cuts that have less white "marbleized" texture. The white "marble" is fat that can increase your cholesterol.
  
• Select fish such as cod that has less saturated fat than even chicken or other meats.
  
• Even the leanest cuts of meat, chicken, fish, and shellfish have saturated fat and cholesterol so limit your daily intake to 6 ounces or less.
  
• Remember: You can increase soluble fiber if LDL is not lowered enough from reducing saturated fat and cholesterol.
