Cholesterol levels are notoriously high in the United States, thanks to the country’s abundance of fatty fare. In fact, 1 in 3 Americans have high cholesterol. This puts them at a greater risk of heart attack and stroke.

Luckily, if you own a smartphone, you can download a variety of apps that can help hold you accountable and keep your cholesterol in check.

Here are a few of them:

Cholesterol Food Reference

This one’s just for iPhone users (sorry Android) and costs just $1.99. This handy app helps you discover the amount of cholesterol hiding in a vast assortment of foods, including 200+ grocery store items and 100+ fast food options.

MyFitnessPal

Free for both Android and iPhone, the MyFitnessPal app allows you to track how much cholesterol you’re taking in, as well as your protein, fats, carbs, sugars, and more. Thanks to its extensive database, it “knows” the nutritional information of over 6 million foods (including those from restaurants). You can even plug in the ingredients of your favorite recipe and calculate it yourself.
