How much cholesterol should someone with high cholesterol have in one day?

Conventional nutrition wisdom would say to eat less than 200 mg of cholesterol per day. However, in clinical studies it appears that the cholesterol that you eat doesn't have as much of an effect on your blood cholesterol as other lifestyle factors such as exercise and fat consumption.

If you have high cholesterol my number one piece of advice would be to take up weight lifting. My second piece of advice would be to lower intake of saturated fat, trans fat, sugar, and increase intake of monounsaturated fat, fiber, and omega-3 fatty acids.
