How does protein powder affect cholesterol?

One of the things in your diet that can impact your cholesterol significantly is your fat intake. Limiting the amount of saturated and trans fats that you consume will help maintain healthy cholesterol levels. At the same time, you want to include healthy, unsaturated fats that you would find in nuts and seeds, peanut butters, plant oils, and avocados.

We can create protein blends with virtually no fat content (and therefore very low cholesterol). Even our whey-based blends are relatively low in cholesterol. If cholesterol is a concern for you, let us know at by messaging your dietitian under the RD Hub of your profile, and we'll match you with a protein source that is naturally lower in fat & cholesterol.
