    As metal face says all sorts of lean not fatty meat. Also beans, beans and more beans of varying types. Also fish e.g. pollock. eggs, grains, whey, low fat milk and cheese etc. Check the percentage of protein in the food where possible. "Ask Jeeves" 

    Lean protein does not come from McDonalds. Remember too, that if you dont take in cholesterol as food, your body will make it.

    Zorro the body has a certain amount of cholesterol in it anyway - you are right - it only increases to a sometimes dangerous level when excess amounts of fatty food are eaten.

    Usually red meat with very little or no fat.White meat chicken,and turkeyand fish.Lean pork without a lot of fat is similar also.

    Chicken and rice lots of fish and very lean meat no fat on it at all beans are really good

    my mother in law before she died, would not eat much meat. Her cholesterol kept high because she kept producing it . She tried low cholesterol foods. Didnt work.

    Yes this can happen the natural body i.e. laboratory parameters these figures keep changing also as to what is acceptable also measured by risk factors, genettic,diet, wieght, heart disease biliary cirrhosis etc.- and one of them being age - cholesterol increases with age. There are several components in cholesterol not so simple and is by no means just raised by diet. Hope this helps. zorro, just realized you know all this as you are a microbiologist and geneticist and what is more I just know what a good scientist you are.

    Lean meats are those with all visible fats removed and those with low fat naturally.  You can still get your 8 essential amino acids from veggies (like beans and corn together). It takes a little research,,,
