Optimum DV levels for dietary cholesterol

Dmitri's Photo Dmitri 05 Jan 2009

For the members here who know more about fat and cholesterol what would you say is the optimum daily level for dietary cholesterol? I have the cron-o-meter and according to it I'm already at 194% of what I need in a day from my breakfast meal alone.

This is what I ate this morning:

1) Scrambled eggs (cracked open three shells) with no salt and cooked with Canola oil and a fat free turkey frank

2) Cup of thawed Blackberries

3) Oatmeal prepared with whole milk and I added ground cinnamon to reduce the effects of sugar

How could I have passed the DV cholesterol level with only eggs and milk? Is the cron-o-meter accurate or is there a different DV for cholesterol? The meter also shows high levels when I eat seafood (shrimp, octopus, salmon).
