Summary: Cholesterol Lowering Meal Plan

The Cholesterol Lowering meal plan is perfect if you have high cholesterol or a family history of high cholesterol. This meal plan will help you reduce your intake of foods that are high in saturated fat and dietary cholesterol, while choosing low-fat alternatives such as lean meats and low-fat diary products. You'll eat more high-fiber foods known to help lower LDL (the "bad") cholesterol, including whole grains, vegetables, fruit, beans, oats and whole grain breads and cereals, all of which are low in saturated fat and contain no cholesterol. Fats such as olive oil, avocados and nuts will be included in your plan since they contain heart-healthy monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats.

The Cholesterol Lowering meal plan is based on the American Heart Association's recommendations. It provides 50-65% of your calories from carbohydrates, 20-25% of your calories from protein and no more than 30 percent of total calories from fat, of which less than 10 percent come from saturated fat. Your 3 meals and 1 snack daily will have no more than 300 milligrams of dietary cholesterol total.
