Consult the tables in the Cholesterol chapter and follow the advice given in Sections A, B, and C below. This will fulfill the recommendation of fat intake to be 30% of food energy. You will receive enough polyunsaturated fat and protein without having to do complicated calculations. The American Heart Association Prudent Diet gives similar recommendations.
These recommendations do not strictly apply if your blood cholesterol is less than 180 mg/dl, because you obviously deal with cholesterol by your own natural process. Foods with a high salt (sodium) content should be avoided or used sparingly (see Table 3).
A. Do Not Use the Following Foods
• Organ meats such as liver, kidney, sweetbreads, heart, or brain
• Meat fat, heavily marbled steaks, mutton, salt pork, or duck
• Whole milk or whole milk products, cream, lard, and non-vegetable margarine, or vegetable margarine that has saturated fats or palm oil

• Coconut oil or products containing coconut oil such as
nondairy coffee cream substitutes, palm oil and peanut
oil, or peanut butter
B. Use the Following Foods Sparingly and in
Small Amounts
• Roast beef, luncheon meats, bacon, sausages, hambur¬ger, and spare ribs
• Butter, egg yolk, cheese made from whole milk or cream, pies, chocolate pudding, whole milk pudding, and ice cream
