If you are eggitarian, you can have 1 whole egg and 2-3 without yolk, because eggs have good cholesterol. As liver have ability to maintain excess cholesterol because if we take cholesterol from outer sources then liver makes only enough cholesterol that much body needs. And take vegetarian diet in which you have to add protein sources from pulses and legumes, low fat paneer, butter milk and curd.
You can have soaked almonds and walnuts in cholesterol but avoid cashews, pista and peanuts.
Limit oil in food while cooking.
You have to take baked, steamed, boiled food.
Take whole grains, legumes and pulses.
In form of sprouts, cheela, liquid daal, soups, dhokla, poha.
