A member asked:
How many triglycerides and small particle ldl cholesterol are allowed for a healthy human being to take in one day?
4 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
No set limit but...: The vast majority of cholesterol in our body is produced by our liver because it is essential for our health. Dr. Atkins and others found that eating a very high cholesterol diet does not raise our cholesterol levels all that much. Triglycerides largely don't come from diet but are produced when we eat sugar & starches. Minimizing sugar & starch intake is more beneficial than limiting cholesterol!

I can't: I can't tell you exactly because it has to do with diet and metabolism. This is different for every patient.

Unclear question: Foods labels do not include the content of ldl. In general it is better to limit the intake of saturated fats. You may wish to consult this site for general information about nutrition. http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.
