My plan is to have:

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.

6,000 calories? That's more than the generic 2,000 recommended for people of most heights. Does healing actually eat up the extra calories or are you storing them as fat?

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.

i call BS on ItsMyLife claiming to double the speed of bone healing time via supplements, if that was true everyone would finish LL a good 3 months earlier by taking pills, but no one has done that so yeah.

if you eat 6.000 calories per day you will be fat like cow, because you sit all day in bad and that is too much calories even for persons who regulary go to gym.
