Answer 1

Find the right amount of fat recommended for your diet, using this calculator, based on age, height, gender and frame size:

CHOLESTEROL Guidelines and Daily Allowance: The Australian National Heart Foundation advised that all people should restrict total cholesterol consumption to no more than 300 milligrams a day, that's their cholesterol guideline for daily allowance. The University of Texas, USA, in discussing those with high cholesterol, suggests a limit of 200 milligrams a day.

I suspect going below 100 milligrams a day may run risks with your health, as cholesterol is necessary in our blood for good health to be maintained, but the liver can apparently produce cholesterol when it is absent from the diet, so zero cholesterol should be fine, provided your liver is working well.  Will you ever achieve a zero cholesterol guideline?  Inconceivable, cholesterol exists in our food chain, in so many different foods.

Use this cholesterol counter to determine its amount in any specific food item.
