It's the trans-fats in potato chips which are bad for you. Saturated fat has a neutral effect on blood cholesterol levels. But mostly it's the starch in the potatoes which causes the raise in triglycerides which far and away causes the most damage to a persons blood cholesterol levels. And eating "cholestorel-free eggs" is unhealthy, you'll be missing most of the nutrition from the eggs - eating whole eggs have a positive effect on your cholesterol (see Jimmy Moore interviewing the Eades about an 88-year old dude on an all-egg diet), they only raise the "good cholesterol" - it's sugar and starches which raises the "bad cholesterol". If it's "fat-free" then it's probably very bad for your cholesterol.
