Red meat contains a lot of saturated fat.
If you eat red meat every day, it is likely that your cholesterol is about 10-20 percent higher than it should be. Alternatives to red meat include chicken, fish, and turkey, as well as non meat protein sources like nuts and beans. The most important cholesterol level is the LDL or bad cholesterol level. This is calculated as the cholesterol minus HDL cholesterol minus triglyceride divided by 5. We recommend that in someone who's had a heart attack, the LDL be reduced to less than 100.
