Default Am I overdoing it on veggies?

Hi all,

I'm not sure if I'm doing this correctly... I've read that I can have 2-3 cups lettuce and one cup of green beans, which is what I've been doing. Generally lunch I'll have a small salad with some ham or pepperoni and ranch dressing, then dinner I'll have something meaty with generally 1/2 to 1 cup green beans.

Is this taking in too many carbs? I've been told by a couple of folks in here that most of your carbs should come from veggies, but I'm not sure if I'm overdoing it here or not.

Also, a good chunk of my meat intake is from processed meats - bacon, sausage, ham, etc. I don't have access to steaks or grilled chicken at work. Will this hender my weight loss too much?

And finally, while at the grocery store yesterday, I found Hood Carb Countdown milk, which has 3 carbs per cup. This is more then I'd like to have in one drink, but after tasting it, it's not bad.. and it settled my milk craving Here's a link -

The milk tastes real creamy, almost like melted whiped cream but not as sweet. It did leave a weird aftertaste about 5-10 minutes after drinking it, but this could be because I haven't drank any milk in like 3 weeks.

ANyway, just wanted other folks ideas on this. Take care, and thanks for any feedback.

Sam
