Protein is protein.

Fuel up, bro.

>NOOOOOO!! YOU CAN'T MAKE ME EAT ZE BUGS, NOOOOOOOO!!!
>OMGGGGG IS THAT A BUG...BUT FROM THE SEA!? YAAASSSSSSSS

I would but I don't think they make insect protein yet and if they do it's probably even more expensive than the regular one

>>76514647 (OP)
Unironically probably better than whey. Whey spoils days after it's made. It's milk dust and milk... ages like milk... that's why you fart so badly after consuming it, it's all expired.

>>76514712
They do you just don't know you're consuming it. Supplement companies here order ingredients from China and end up with God knows what. Those Chinese importers want to stay in business so the "whey" they're shipping out has to work. But China doesn't have the dairy industry to accommodate the sheer amount of cheap protein powder demand they're getting. So they send out ground up bugs, it gets added to a flavored powder mix here, and labeled "made in USA." You consume ze bugs and get results, you order more and consume more bugs.

This is why I don't touch mystery powders at all. Just eat food and drink milk.

Crickets are mostly exoskelleton (chitin) which you can not digest. It's protein, sure, but you won't get any of it. It'll pass right through you.

>Protein is protein.
unironically
but it's stupendously expensive (for now)

i bought mealworm flour / powder once (shortly after the EU approved it)
figured I make some protein bars / muffins with it
the macros are insane
>55% protein (bio available and complete)
but it also was insanely expensive
paid 80€/kg

it's just not worth it
the mealworms for human consumption basically grow in an almost sterile environment to prevent parasites
and it's all small scale

tasted and processed fine though

>>76514733
Chinks. It is a real talent they have at being the best at being the completely shittiest, worst, and most robotic. They really are fucked in the head.

>>76514742
I won't support Sandrovich's claims as fact, no. It's comical, at least.

>>76514665
Nobody needs to eat what some retarded fag like you would like them to.

>>76514733
then why can't I buy the mealworm powder directly?
if it's cheaper I should be able to buy cheaper protein powder

yet

there isn't any
curious

(sadly) no one is mass producing that stuff yet
the video looks fine, would eat
but again, these "farms" are experimental and very expensive
and they'll probably never compete
because soi, pea and other plant based protein isolates basically can be used in the same way and will always be cheaper
>inb4 muh but bio availability
just eat more, still is cheaper, and upf manufacturers don't care anyway

>>76514647 (OP)
I think I could maybe stomach ground insect protein with a little bit of time
But I could never do shit like eat fried spiders and scorpions on a stick like they do in southeast Asia and shit

>>76514742
>Crickets are mostly exoskelleton
and that's why they aren't really researched for human consumption
they'll always stay a novelty food or are used for animal feed

the actual research (in Europe) mostly revolves around scaling mealworm farming
crickets just look very "insect like", so they are often taken as posterchild for eating insects

>>76514776
You can but cricket flour tho.
I can't see mealworm flour anywhere for sale.

>>76514766
Shill cringe.
Plant based protein is next to worthless and nobody serious needs to use it as an option. It's only for idealogically driven dunces who want to suck on incomplete nutrients coated in chemicals. Eating bugs has already failed because it is simply just a denigration tactic used to try and humiliate the populace and people said fuck you.
Eat animals and eggs for protein. Period. If you don't want to fine, you don't have to, but you will never be as strong or healthy as you are designed to be. Your free to do as you wish.

>>76514789
>Plant based protein is next to worthless
>B-Because I say it is!!
:/

>>76514789
This is correct, you eat meat because you're made out of meat and your ancestors evolved to rely on meat. In fact, they ate almost every part of the animal, and boiled everything else of value into soup.

Bugs may have proteins, but do they have the skin, bones, tendons, and marrow? Can I get every nutrient that meat offers from bugs?

>>76514794
Nah, it just is garbage. Sorry you drank the kool aid.

>>76514733

>2 billion people that regularly eat bugs and hundreds of thousand years of evolution are wrong
sure anon
next you're telling me clogged arteries are natural and being as retarded as you an evolutionary advantage

>>76514794
>>76514819
Leftists have this faggot idea in their heads that you're only allowed to speak on a topic if you're an expert on said topic. This anon projects this onto you and assumes that you're trying to speak authoritatively, and is therefore angry that you haven't provided evidence or credentials to back up an obvious point.

>>76514839
I'd love him to provice evidence to support his claim that "plant protein is worthless". I wonder if he can.

>>76514839
>eat diet low in protein and ultra high in fat
>get shit body
true enlightenment

plant based diets only fail if you're too retarded to balance your macros
plenty of top pro-athletes that perform well with plant protein only
main difference, they actually protein, you know tofu, beans, tvp, nuts / seeds, legumes etc.

>inb4 some mentally ill, goyslop consuming """influencer""" as counterexample

>>76514766
You can buy mealworm protein powder. Did you even bother to jewgle it retard?

>>76514647 (OP)
Everyone who gets mad at "eat ze bugs" shit is too stupid to realise the fell for a fucking marketing scheme. A bunch of locust farm startups tried creating an american market for bugs by getting news stories about it run. Notice how there's still no bug meat in your grocery stores, and nobody else in your life is talking about locust farms? You ragebaited yourself. You're mad at unethical marketing techniques, not bug farms.

>>76514733
>58 seconds of industrial animal feed production footage
>jump cut
>2 seconds of yogurt commercial footage
are you faggots so retarded you actually fall for this dogshit? There's a single manufacturer in my country for "mealworm protein powder" and it's 30x more expensive because it's obviously not a large scale production.

>>76514750
Good. Make the rich eat the bugs. Also you are retarded

10/10 macros ngl

>200g of crickets would cover my daily protein

>>76514647 (OP)
I desperately want protein to be protein. I think we've evolved past the stage of industrialized farming. Every day at the dairy aisle I'm walking back and forth with my trolley, panicky about the vegan goyslop, debating if I'm a bad enough dude to buy he skyr, reading the 612 ingredients on the vegan goyslop, and settling for.... uh, a bit of vegan slop, a bit of cottage cheese, a bit of skyr. I'M HELPING!

Temporarily, for up to two years

>>76514902
>You can buy mealworm protein powder
technically yes, very difficult to get though
also it's like tripple the price of regular whey

OPs claim was that they mix it in because it's cheaper
which is false

>Temporarily, for up to two years
source: my schizo imaginary shadow fren

most of them go plant based because the diet is
>highly anti-inflammatory
>significantly reduces DOMS
>train harder and more often
and
>typically low in saturated fats and cholesterol
>with high consumption of fiber and nitrates
>so better blood viscosity and arterial flexibility
>which improves blood flow and higher vo2max
both benefits basically vanish as soon as you start eating meat, milk and eggs again
so they at least do this for their whole career
