Plant Based Meat Cholesterol. When it comes to cholesterol levels white meat may be no better than red meat and plant-based protein beats both. A beef hamburger delivers roughly 30 of the recommended 300 mgday of dietary cholesterol from the animal fat whereas the plant-based burgers have no dietary cholesterol.
Plant-based diets typically reduce body weight and saturated fat intake which may benefit cholesterol management. If you eat a lot of fatty foods cholesterol levels can rise to unhealthy levels.
