Cholesterol counter helps in calculating the amount present in a specific food item.This can be known in terms of unit measure

Convenient Cholesterol Counter
A few interesting facts :

Just like oil and water, cholesterol and blood do not mix. 

About 1/3 to 1/4 of blood cholesterol is carried by High-density lipoprotein also called as HDL.
 

High Density Lipoprotein (good cholesterol) tends to carry cholesterol 'away' from the arteries and Low Density Lipoprotein(bad cholesterol) carries 'into' the blood.

It is recommended that cholesterol intake should not exceed 200mg/day in the diet. 

Egg white and foods from plant sources have no cholesterol.

Factors like smoking, alcohol, coffee, sugar, obesity, etc. also raises the cholesterol level.
