A member asked:
I had two bites of chicken breast 5 hours before a blood test. my cholesterol came out much higher than last year. im wondering if the results could have been affected by the small amount of chicken i ate 5 hours before. thankyou?

Yes they would be affected. Best to repeat when you are really fasting. Best to have a 14 hour fast where you have only water in the 14 hours before the test.
