Anybody ever get their cholesterol tested?

I mean.. shit...
I eat at least 3x more meat than the average human being... I've never been tested as Im just shy of 22.... Sometimes I think about it though...

Have any of you guys who eat a ton of meat ever gotten their blood tested for cholesterol problems?


By the way, I just polished off 6 HUGE meat balls... and last night... 24 chicken wings... just thought I'd mention a couple of my most recent snacks

yeah I did last year. Can't remember what liftin phase I was in (heavy eatin/massin or what) but I remember mine was a little high. They just draw blood...no big deal really. I think I had to do it for insurance or somethin like that. I was 22 at the time too.

I just had mine tested three weeks ago before I started cutting. I weight 145 lbs. off season and eat ~200 grams protein/day; I also eat lower carb, higher fat - even in the offseason. My cholesterol was 151. If you're under 200, you're good.

If you focus on limiting your saturated fat and eat clean protein sources, you should be fine.
