I found out I have colesterol. I have been trying to eat foodsvery low in fats and saturated fats. I wanted to know if granulated white sugar contains fat? I am supposed to be on a low fat diet. Does anyone have any ideas what kinds of food I should eat? I know some but I am looking to buy single dinners in the frozen section without alot of fat. I still have to cook for my family so I want something easy where I don't hae to cook twice..lol please help me if you can .

Everyone has cholesterol. It's necessary. I assume you mean high cholesterol.
Sugar does not contain fat. It is all carbohydrate. However, those who eat a lot of sugar and don't have a super-high caloric output will gain weight.
As far as frozen foods, Lean Cuisine and Weight Watchers both have really good frozen dinners. You can find lots of great recipes that are healthy that your whole family will eat! Probably the best thing to do. Learn what you can eat besides frozen dinners. You'll quickly realize that there's lots you can have.
Also, find out if you have family that also has high cholesterol. Sometimes it is more a hereditary thing than a food thing. You may need medication. Talk to your doctor about that.

"I found out I have colesterol"
So does every living human. Congrats, you passed the test.
Now, if you've got high cholesterol...?
Try losing weight. I lost 25 pounds and my doc took me off of the pills. That is the best answer for most people.
Try exercising. It burns off the fats in your blood (aka "cholesterol") and builds up your "good cholesterol".
Take the pills until you get the situation under control.
Finally, realize that heridity works against you here. You might be able to drop your scores by 30 points, but like other health factors, you're at the mercy of what God and your parents gave you.

stay away from fast foods, regular milk, butter. high fat foods, eat lots of fresh fruit and veggies. fish is good too.
Healthy Choice meals are tasty and low fat.
take 1000 mg of fish oil daily, it'll help lower your colesterol.
google for low fat meals for the whole family. can't hurt to start now. Some high colestrol is genitic

I feel perfectly healthy as I write and I have to thank that Lady Doctor I once drove to N.Y.U. Medical Center.
She said you should use garlic in your diet.
Ever since, I eat a clove of garlic a day.
In addition, eliminate as much as possible table sugar.
Must start each day with a breakfast of quality cereal.
Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables.
You must control cholesterol.
Try all of above, and write me back next month if you see a difference.
