Don't know if I have a family history of high cholesterol or not because I'm adopted. I do know that before I started low carbing, my numbers were only off a little and now some of them are worse. It's kind of hard to post a "typical" day because I do try to vary the types of protein that I eat to avoid boredom, but I can say that I was eating sausage patties (2 or 3) for breakfast quite often in the few weeks before my test which could account for the "bad" numbers. I also did some research and found that my readings are not that unusual and that adding some Niacin and garlic could do some good. This made sense to me because our dietary Niacin typically comes from grains (like flour and bread) which I am no longer eating and I'm also not eating as much garlic as I used to. For what it's worth, here's what I had today:

Breakfast: 1 cube steak, cold, on the way to work
Lunch: Salad with Chicken breast, Caesar dressing
Dinner: Turkey roast, broccoli
Treat: 3 chocolate covered cappucino beans (1 g. carb each)
