You must have the good cholesterol genes like me. Your HDL is a bit low, actually. LDL is fantastic.

Do you not eat red meat? 55 is insane. Below 150 and you're doing just fine.

i eat it all the time. well, at least i think all the time. i do have a couple burgers or a steak a week. The wife likes to stay away from red meat all the time.

So is that number related to not eating much red meat?

It's fat. So bacon, burgers, etc. And I thought I had it good.
