Yes, you should start watching what you eat. You shouldn’t eat more than three eggs per week. Eat more fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein like chicken and fish. Avoid fried foods. It’s better to start watching what you eat now while you’re young, because if you keep up your current eating habits, you’ll only run into problems when you’re older.
And cholesterol is found in animal products, not grain products!

You can get high cholesterol in many ways either eating to much fatty foods mainly greasy or it could be hereditary. It does not matter how much you weigh but what you consume I have know ppl that weigh next to nothing but ate greasy foods so much that their cholesterol shot up so my suggestion lay off most the greasy foods and ask your Dr. to prescribe something that will help lower it if he has not already

it can be a combination between the lifestyle that you lead (i.e. foods that you eat, amount of exercise that you get, do you smoke, drink, or anything like that) and your family history – not only your parents but also your grandparents and even aunts and uncles can affect this. Your best bet is to try and change your eating habits, get more exercise – if you use tobacco or drink or what not stop and see what happens, if it’s still high your doctor can prescribe medication to lower it

I’m unfamiliar with those numbers – total cholesterol runs from 100 to 400, with everything close to 200 considered dangerous to your life insurance company.
Some bodies manufacture more than can be flushed out or converted, and some diets and living habits make it worse.

You probably eat a lot of eggs.
Eggs are 3/4 cholesterol you know.

It is a myth that eating foods high in cholesterol causes cholesterol problems. High cholesterol can be found in people who are prone to it… fat or skinny. It is caused by 1) metabolic propensity toward it, 2) genetic heredity, 3) certain health conditions such as type 2 diabetes, 4) liver problems.
I wouldn’t worry too much about it. All the doctors want you to do is start taking Lipitor anyway.
Keep eating your eggs because they are nutritious!
