1. Ensure bottle the protein version(full of vitamins).
2. at least one glass of x brand of body building milkshake(they are avitamin powerhouse just read the labels).
3. Vegan Smart shake.
4. Omega from 3 to 9.
5. Random dinner.
6. Protein cereal bar.

I suffer from severe hunger so I indeed need to eat 6 times. I think overloading your system with pills can be a bad move so I will most likely buy natural stuff from health foods and if anyone knows the most important single supplement for bone regeneration let me know.

That was my concern. But for short periods I guess it is OK. It is like taking medicine.
I am eating 3000-6000 calories everyday of food and multiple snacks so I do not think I need more protein from protein shakes etc.

According to a website, yes, 6000 calories is needed for a single bone fracture. But I think its not true in my case as most of it went to my body as fat.

Yup check your weight regularly when LL. My BP And weight went up cause I ate 6000 calories a day. It was too much for me.
