Two eggs at 6am, blood taken at 11am - and yes I think that my recent dietary changes (lower carb, higher fat) must have made the difference, as it's the only thing that's different compared with all of the other tests back to 2012, which were also non-fasting (total cholesterol consistently in the 3s and 4s) - the 6.6 this time is massive in comparison!
Shall sit tight and see what they say when they contact me (I hope tomorrow).
PS I eat 3-6 eggs a day but had been reassured that dietary cholesterol doesn't contribute to stored cholesterol - hmmmmmm, might need to do more research!
Yeah, I would expect that breakfast would give you a mild increase that likely raised your levels a bit. I have no concrete idea as to whether dietary and stored cholesterol are related - my gut assumption is that they have to be in some way, but I have done research at all other then looking at the recommended intake and looking at whats in a single egg lol So you are on your own to figure that out - my approach was to just keep it all low to be safe lol
