TRI-1.1-------97.43136mg/dl
I used an online converter but don't have a clue as to whether my numbers are good, so any feedback is welcome

Your HDL is fairly good, but with longer eating on Atkins it should go up (it is helped by good fat and protein, and low carbs….without sugar etc.)
Your LDL is considered high, BUT…..it would actually help to know which type they are….fluffy or dense. You have to request more than the standard cholesterol test to find that out, and it's a bit more expensive.
Your Tri's are under 100, which is good, but they could be a bit lower. Tri's are somewhat transient and vary all the time depending on what you have been eating.

I myself have always tended towards somewhat high cholesterol…on my last test my HDL was 85, my LDL was 225 but it was the light fluffy type, and my trio's were 75. My overall total was high because that number is a composite of the other 3, but my doctor says she isn't worried.
