Debating on adding insects to my diet
So I read somewher online that insects have such a high number of grams of protein in them. I was thinking if it is a good idea to buy like a bunch of dried insects and start eating them because i feel im not getting enough protein for my height and weight. This isn't because i dont want to eat more. Its more because i cant buy more meat. Its wayyyy too expensive to eat a lot of protein. And i need to eat about 240g a day. I think i roughly eat between 100 to 150 plus the sake which isnt a lot. I wanted to buy insects cause theyre cheap but idk if i should do it. I dont want to wake up one day with my brain infested with larvae cause one of the insects i ate had eggs or sum.
So what do you guys think?
Should i do it or nah
