Can i eat peanut butter sandwich night before chloresterol test?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Nothing to eat or drink for 12 hrs before test. Do not indulge in sweet desserts before having your blood drawn if you don't normally eat sweets. Your body converts excess calories into triglycerides and stores them in fat cells until the body needs energy. Avoid over-eating in the days before having your blood tested to get an accurate triglyceride measurement.
