A member asked:
How many fat grams to eat per day on low cholesterol diet?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Low fat diet: I don't give my patients numbers, you want to try and eliminate as much fat as possible for you. If whatever you settle on doesn't achieve lipid targets, statin or other drug can be added.
