I have no idea. How can I find that out?
.. but seriously we have good HDL and bad LDL cholesterol, your diet is similar to the Mediterranean diet and that is healthy for our cholesterol (unless you are genetically predisposed and that is why your cholesterol is high, but I doubt it, but also if you want do a blood test 
) . ...besides you don't eat sugar, you do sports, you don't stress so you can put your olive oil to the salad...besides there are terrible myths about cholesterol, that its high level is not good for our health... But it is so important for our health because it is used for the synthesis of many hormones (including cortisol, progesterone, estrogen and testosterone), bile acid. It is thanks to it that vitamin D3 is synthesised from the sun. There are also studies that say that high levels mean a lower chance of Parkinson's disease, on the other hand, patients (especially cancer patients), autistic children or suicidal people usually have little cholesterol in their blood... so simply everything in moderation... it's about time we learned to read our body what it needs and not to push into it only what we feel like... but from time to time small dietary sins are advisable, if only for mental health
