Would this be a good feeding plan?

I haven't kept much track of how often to feed Jab of different foods but I think I make proper judgement on quantity and frequency. I've been giving her carrots like 2-3 times weekly along with Romaine Lettuce same number of times and pellets every day but in not so large amounts. I try my best to apply that whole "head if it were hollowed out" rule when feeding. Since she's well over a year old now, at least I think she is, I'm going to start feeding pellets every other day. Here's my plan so far:
Monday- Pellets
Tuesday- Carrots
Wednesday-Pellets
Thursday - Lettuce
Friday- Pellets
Saturday- Carrots and Lettuce
Sunday- Neutral
(I'm going to try to get some Red, Green leaf lettuce and some Turnip Leaves to try and make a staple so I can lay off of the Romain Lettuce and Carrots. After reading they shouldn't be used so often.)

Instead of varying the lettuce with carrots all the time, try some additional items like green pepper/red pepper, squash, or the occassional fruit choice. In the summer, if you have a safe place to pick them, you can also add dandelion leaves. Mine love them.

Peppers? I don't recall seeing those in the list. Well there's not much in the fridge, heh.

I think peas and corn should only be given occationally. Both are pretty sweet.
When I give Ralph corn, depending on if it's frozen or from a cob, I usually cut off the pointy end and sometimes take the skin off if it slides off easily... But maybe I'm just parinoid

I still feed some greens daily, even on the days I give them pellets.
As someone on the list pointed out one time: they can't get fat on greens!

Could too much lettuce be bad for them?

The Moderators on the board have said that too much lettuce can give them diarrhea (all that fiber, LOL) and then you just cut back a bit.
