What would be the consequences of these biological changes to a human

So let's say you changed a human's DNA to give him:

• a thick exoskeleton that is a lot like that of a mantis shrimp (to make him bullet-proof)
• very small holes all over his body to use to breathe instead of a nose (to make it hard to cut off his oxygen)
• a lot of stem cells stored in his bone marrow (to quickly repair damage)
• the DNA repair mechanisms of Deinococcus radiodurans (to protect him from radiation damage)

What would be the toll on such people with this genetic change, like how much would their caloric intake go up and what kind of special food would they require to maintain this body?
