Looks fantastic.

No, especially as a low carber you are highly likely to have mostly the good (light, fluffy) kind of LDL ... and no again. because you don't have LDL of 150! (this is a calculated figure - not directly measured - this calculator gives a much better idea of what your LDL is likely to be with your low triglyceride number)

I did it for you - yours comes in at 115 ... quite a difference!

Nice calculator with the Iranian formula! I have not seen that before (I had read about the "Iranian" study).
