Nope... Veggies are 'slow Carbs' Slow carbs have a low glycemic (sp?) index... they are the 'good carbs"

my diet is mainly fruit and vegetables, when i enter my daily foods on the food diary it says there is a lot of carbs in the veg. is this going to slow down my weight loss?

I think you might have a skewed sense of how many carbs is "a lot." I used to eat about 400-700 grams per day. That's a LOT. Now I eat closer to 200 grams per day and stay in my calorie goal and I'm losing 2 pounds per week.


ETA: This was on TOP of my proteins and fats, so close to 4000 calories on average.

They aren’t. If you are getting enough protein (from whatever source) don’t worry about it.

Oatmeal - mostly carbs
Peanut Butter - mostly fat
Brown rice - mostly carb
broccoli - Mostly carb
Almond Milk - almost all carb (1 protein per serving?)

Unless you are trying to eat very little protein or a ton of calories in carbs these are poor choices

They are not poor choices. There are foods higher in protein which would make them a better source of protein, if protein is all you are looking for. But the foods above contain protein along with many other healthy nutrients.

I was going to answer this but you have answered


Beans, tofu, almond milk, oatmeal, peanut butter, broccoli, brown rice...

But is there enough protein in there? I am not trying to be antagonistic, I am asking a general question as most meat eaters eat way above on protein?

My question must have got lost along the way, so I am repeating it?

They have less protein per calorie than other more pur protein sources. If you have the calories available, it's fine to get protein from those sources -- any source really. If you're looking for a low calorie way to get protein, those aren't the best option.

These aren't poor choices for protein, as a vegetarian I do protein combining all the time to ensure I get all the different types of protein for needed essential amino acids.

I think the lack of meat in your diet has clouded your judgement

they are good sources of protein!!

If you think almond milk is a good source of protein you are either ignorant or incompetent

Be nice! Or at least be civil. There is no need to attack someone just because they don't think exactly as you.

I'll say it again. If you are meeting your protein goal (and that goal is a sufficient amount of protein), it does not matter where that protein comes from. Eat a variety of foods, eat what you like, and fvck the rest. If you don't eat meat, then soy products are a good source of protein. If you don't eat meat, then beans and whole grains are a good source of protein. Even if you do eat meat, they still contain protein. It still adds to your daily goal.

Yes, there is enough protein in the food that vegans eat. Most people who are not vegan are quick to point out that there is no way you can be vegan and get enough protein, but it's simply not true. I get enough protein. Elephants and gorillas eat almost exclusively plant based diets, and they seem okay to me also...
