Default Toning/weightlifting on lowcarb/highprotein

Im 6'1, started at 180, and for the past couple weeks i've been eating just meat, tuna, eggs/cheese, protein shakes, and protein bars.

Right now im at 178 and 16% bf, i'm trying to get down to about 170, but with a lot of fat loss and i wouldnt mind some muscle gain.

I'm taking in about 150 g of protein daily, but now that i've looked more into this low-carb business, i want to also keep carbs low. I've pretty much been inadvertantly keeping carbs low in my protein diet, but i can keep them lower! (if it will burn the fat!). Is there a magic number that i should stay under for sugar carbs? Am i right that for fat-loss purposes the sugar carbs are the only ones that are important to count? I've basiclaly been keeping my carb intake like 100 carbs, i know that won't get me into ketosis, so what number does!! =).

Also, another question out to the builders, what low-carb strong-tasting drink can drown out the HORRIBLE taste of whey protein? All juices i see are like 15-20 sugar carbs per cup!
Thanks!
