The thought of a low cholesterol food diet scares a lot of people with no need. There are many things that can be done with many low cholesterol foods that are easily accessible in most grocery stores. There are many foods that contain little to no cholesterol and these should be used as staples while following a low cholesterol lifestyle. If the staples have little to no cholesterol then the foods surrounding them do not have to be cholesterol free.

Here are two sample meal plans that are low in cholesterol.

The day one sample has:

• Breakfast a good option would be a cereal high in fiber such as Fiber One with skim or soy milk and orange juice to drink.
• Lunch a great option is a rice cake topped with avocado and one slice of turkey (deli meat) along with fresh veggies which soak up cholesterol.
• Dinner would be a big salad with a lot of fresh veggies, including tomatoes, broccoli, spinach, celery, raisins, and cucumbers. For protein there should be some kind of beans (snap peas or green beans).

The day two sample consists of some different foods that can be used as staples within the lifestyle.

• Breakfast should contain orange juice to drink cracked wheat toast with yogurt butter, and a variety of fresh fruit such as raspberries, apples, and blueberries.
• Lunch should be baked sweet potato french fries and a tuna salad sandwich on cracked wheat bread.
• Dinner should be wheat pasta with garlic and fresh veggies to taste. One of these veggies could be chopped tomatoes, which can be a delicious substitute for pasta sauce.

These are just two samples of daily menus for a low-cholesterol lifestyle. The fruits and veggies used in these two mean plans can be altered if others are preferred. The sides could be repeated with almost any of the other main dishes. These are just two samples of the many options that there are out there for a low cholesterol lifestyle. The great thing about having a plethora of meal options is that you can innumerable combinations to use for several days or weeks.
