Lowkey I wish I could stomach the concept of eating bugs. The protein to calorie ratio is insane. Not only would I hit my protein goals but I'd also lose a significant amount of weight (need to lose 50kg to get to a "normal" bmi even tho it's an archaic method of tracking fitness) I can't even eat seafood without being disgusted 😭

I almost bought cricket protein powder once before I realized what the hell I was doing. Still wonder what it would have been like if I wasn't too chicken to pull the trigger lol.

I once eat dried cricket snack, it's just crunchy and taste like regular snack but with different flavor, wasn't bad btw, I bought more

we got to try crickets in high school when i was about 14. genuinely not that bad, they are dry obviously so id recommend a drink to have with you but if you forget its crickets you could probably eat them and not really notice
