What role does Nutrition play during Consolidation?

Edit Post

I've been told from several sides that a hypercaloric diet is essential for a fast recovery and bone growth. Is this true. Is it really calories the bone needs to grow? Could a normal diet paired with a wide array of supplements do the deal as well? I thought the bone mainly feeds of calcium and vit d, proteins. All of these can be supplemented easily? What is the medical opinion on this?

Thanks for the great answers.
So eating a lot is not necessarily necessary, as long as these nutrients are supplemented accordingly?. Currently I’m taking the following supplements daily:

- 2x 700mg Calcium
- 2x 5000 ie Vitamin D
- 2x multivitamin complex
- 2x aminoacid complex ( mix of 12 different amino acids)
- zmax pill before bedtime ( mix of 185mg magnesium, 10mg Zink, 12mg b6 )

Im only 2 weeks post op so there is no indication of bonegrowth yet, but I’m curious to see how it might fair, given the supplementation I’m taking.
