Okay, without compromising your cholesterol, you could add in lean protein. If you stick with egg whites, very lean meats and legumes, you should be able to build muscle without raising your cholesterol again, especially if you keep up your exercise program.
Don't eat anything that has 24g sugar! I don't know here the other 3 g of CHO are, if fiber is 2, than you have 2g complex carbs, 24g simple, and 3g? Odd. But it must be more complex than sugar, anyhow.
Eat 5-6 smaller meals a day, about every three hours. At each meal have some protein, some complex carbs and some good fat (nuts, olive oil, flaxseed oil).
Stick with whole grains, brown rice, oatmeal, veggies, sweet potatoes, lean proteins and olive oil and you should be able to put on some muscle without compromising your cholesterol. all the whole grains will help keep your cholesterol down, and exercise will help also.
Good luck!
