A member asked:
Would a single chicken nugget affect a cholesterol test?was fasting for 16 hours and i caved.my levels weren't very high just a bit.would it raise it?

Not much: If you normally have normal triglycerides and they were a bout the same as usual then the one nugget probably did not have much effect in your LDL those two readings are the ones affected by eating. You more than likely got a good idea of your readings from that test!
