I know waxworms are suppose to be treats but can they be used frequently with like crickets and greens if they are gutloaded with cricket gutload and calcium powder and stuff?

Too many waxworms would be a bad thing. Many dragons end up with very runny poo and they are also high in fat which can lead to other problems down the line.

Sorry if I sound like I'm looking for a certain answer but my vet gave me this book by the Chameleon Society called Food For Thought and it had food facts and it only has 2% more fat than silks but like you said I'm concerned with the nutrition thing, so you still think I cant use them that much.Also my BD is recovering from sickness so I'm fattening him up so how many waxworms should I give him a week or month or whatever?
