It always comes back fine, around 100 mg/dL. I always reply, "Don't blame me. I try to raise it." LOL
The three of us should meet at Waffle house for breakfast.

“New Research Shows Cholesterol Isn’t Bad For you and Is Actually Good For You”
after a breakfast of potatoes, onions, sausage and three eggs, I’m feeling fine!!!
I don’t eat eggs regularly but never worried they were unhealthy.
Nor do I need or trust the Egg Board to tell me so.
This “new research” on eggs, coffee, etc, keeps on contradicting itself again and again, decade after decade.
Which is sad, because I liked cheese. But forgoing cheese did the trick.
News Headline 1: “Study Finds Eggs Raise Bad Cholesterol and Threaten Your Heart”
(Six months later)
News Headline 2: “New Research Shows Eggs Don’t Raise Your Cholesterol, and May Be Good for You”
They’ve known that it’s the saturated/trans fat levels of food that cause high cholesterol for a long time. Eggs aren’t high in saturated fat and have no trans fat.
The reason they used to think that high cholesterol foods raise cholesterol levels is that most foods with high cholesterol content also have high saturated fat, e.g. ice cream. It was a misinterpretation of what the data was showing.
Stick margarine can raise cholesterol levels. Margarine has no cholesterol.
“Eggs likely aren’t responsible for high cholesterol…”
I said as much fifty five years ago when I was all of twelve and eggs had been declared deadly. When I opined in the matter I was confidently assured by adults that I’d never live past my forties given my two a day egg habit.
A nutritionist friend of mine says eggs are the perfect food
Cholesterol..one of the biggest pharmaceutical scams in history along with every Dr that pushes the statins.
I have steak with my eggs! lol
My LDL plummeted for the first time in years after I read something here on FR, and started to go back to munching at least one hard boiled egg a day for a month before my physical. I buy ‘em ready to eat because, well, I’m lazy.
Next up, triglycerides — the Nurse Practitioner (I’m on Medicare now, so...) suggests Krill oil or Fish oil. I picked up a big ‘un of fish oil caplets at the wholesale club.
By the time I get old, and very sick and die, I should have the best blood work in these United States.
My wife has had some health issue resulting from off the charts cholesterol and she is vegetarian [eggs, cheese, yoghurt], not vegan. The real indicator was very high triglycerides. She eliminated refined carbohydrates [anything made with wheat flour and refined sugar] instead substituting honey and dates for sweetness and using oats and high fiber whole grains and legumes as well as fresh fruit and vegetables including avocados. No butter, but lots of olive oil or avocado oil. Also she added salmon a few times a week for Omega 3 fish oils. A month later triglycerides and cholesterol levels all plummeted to mid-range normal.
Cholesterol ‘science’ - as it pertains to cardiovascular complications with other causes that I’m not getting into here - ranks right down there with climate ‘science’...
I wish eggs would raise your HDL cholesterol.
“When it comes to a cooked breakfast, it’s not the eggs you need to worry about—it’s the extra serve of bacon or the side of sausage that’s more likely to impact your heart health,” Jon Buckley, PhD. Well, good, I’m not in much trouble...I eat eggs for breakfast nearly every day, but I also eat ham, bacon or sausage, too. My cholesterol is about 195. I blame the vodka for thinning my blood too much.
