What are acceptable cholesterol numbers?

Answer 1

Ideally, your total cholesterol level should be less than 200 mg/dL but should absolutely not be over 240 mg/dL. However, there is both good and bad cholesterol. Bad cholesterol should not be over 100 mg/dL and good cholesterol should not fall below 60mg/dL.

Answer 2

An ideal cholesterol level is below 180. Between 180 and 199 is considered acceptable, and above 200 is high and requires treatment.

Answer 3

The RDA (recommended daily allowance) is 300 mg. But if you have cholesterol problems, you should ask your doctor because he/she may lower that number to 250 or lower.

Answer 4

300
