How can a food high in fat have zero cholesterol? How can I high cholesterol food have low fat?

Question

My cholesterol level is above 1000, but is coming down. To keep it moving down, I’ve been watching the fat in my foods, choosing low-fat stuff over high-fat stuff. My nutritionist explained that I need to track cholesterol directly. I got home, and looked at a bag of chips that had high-fat, but its nutrition information showed zero cholesterol. I then looked at some microwave meals that had low-fat, but their nutrition information showed high cholesterol.

I thought fat and cholesterol in foods were directly proportional… why is this not the case?
