Insects are very nutritious. Pound for pound they contain far greater amounts of the daily essentials than beef, fish, or chicken. Insects are a good snack if you want to get into bodybuilding, but are on a budget. They easily provide necessary protein, iron, and calcium for the support of big muscles and strong bones. Also, if you are looking to reduce the amount of fat in your diet, eat insects (moths in particular).

Insects can be not only good tasting, but an excellent source of nutrition. And proportionally, they provide more usable "meat" than traditional sources such as beef and poultry.
