Question on more calories in

I have a question in how do you get more calories in and keep my carbs down to 20 grams a day i am not concerned with my weight loss but i can tell it is slowinging down some and i feel like i need more calories when i hit that brick wall i had surgery  aug. 1st and have lost a total of 60 pounds but a typical day for me is 180 cal protein shake in the morning 46 grams of protein then a chicken breast for lunch and maybe a slice of cheese or beef jerky for snake then for dinner another 180 cal protien drnk 46 grams protein and this shakes have zero carbs and i am walking 30 min. 3 times a week this question is beening asked because i was reading the post on here and i feel my calorie in take is my down fall. and also one more question do any of yall take anything else supplement wise for muscle building when working out because i use to take other supplments before surgery in college when i was playing foootball but now i dont know what well be good for the body or not thanks guys i enjoy reading yalls posts they have been inspiring and educational thanks again

Hmm, I don't really subscribe to this "keep carbs to 20 grams a day" philosophy.  My diet lately is more like 125 grams each protein and carbs and 55 grams fat, for a bit over 1500 calories (adding in the occasional glass of wine).  The result is somewhat Zone Dietish, in that calories are roughly 30-40% from each source.  I also tend to emphasize mostly protein in the morning, adding carbs and fat at lunch and dinner, and as snacks (nectarines, strawberries, pistachios, etc.). Your loss is going to slow down, that's just reality.  The diet I described above is still relatively "high protein," even though it's not ketogenic.  For me, a ketogenic diet is simply too limiting in food choice, and also leaves me with less energy than I need to be active. As for what you could add if you're committed to low carb, though, I'd recommend fish.  My Wal-Mart right now has these $1 each, four-ounce wild caught fillets vacuum sealed, of several types of fish, including haddock, salmon, scallops, etc.  They are thin so you can bake them in 15 minutes from frozen and get a rather fresh texture/taste, and of course the serving size is perfect.  Most white fish are very low fat, so you could add an olive oil or butter sauce with some thyme, rosemary, whatever spices to beef up the calories (and flavor) a bit without carbs. I take creatine and it works if you are working out hard; lots of info on the internet on dosage, etc..  Just two warnings (1) buy pure creatine, not the expensive, sugar-soaked "deliver systems" and (2) be aware that you will gain 5-12 pounds of muscle water weight while taking it, though it doesn't make you look fatter and it falls off after you stop.  I think most other supplements are garbage, or at least have a questionable price-benefit ratio.

thanks i was wondering about creatine because i used it before
