Your cholesterol is not show hai you can very well control it by a regular cardio and exercise which you intend to do and a healthy diet as far as protein powders a concerned usually proteins do not have a major effect on cholesterol but they to put your body especially your Kidneys under stress so make sure that you drink a lot of fluids along with the proteins as well as you take a very good and healthy diet avoid all fatty and junk foods and as far as which protein powder to take you can very well take a protein concentrate if you want to bulk up and if you want to gain lean muscle mass then I will advise you to go for isolate.
