Cholesterol is found in foods of animal origin only, such as egg yolks, meat, some shellfish and whole-milk dairy products. So what you need to do is eat fewer foods of animal origin, and more plant foods such as vegetables, fruits, and grains.

Always have vegetables on hand in the fridge. Throw together mixed veggies with some lean chicken breast strips and make a quick and easy chinese stir-fry. Grill boneless white fish fillets with garlic and oregano, and serve with a nice green salad. Make hearty vegetable soups. Prepare a vegetable frittata using all egg whites and one egg yolk.

The main thing to remember is to avoid eating butter, cream, whole-fat milk, whole-fat cheese, and egg yolks, and use instead olive oil (which is of plant orgin, therefore cholesterol-free), reduced-fat milk, reduced-fat cheese, and egg whites (which are cholesterol-free).
