i wonder how many grams of protein are contained in them....

i have been trying to gain some weight... they say i'll need lots of protein for my high metabolic rate... so hmmmmmmmmmmm, lol

i can't voluntarily eat bugs, just can't do it....although insects, on average, are some of the healthiest food in the world (a lot of nutrients, nearly 0 fat), i just can't do it......there is a site with different recipes though...if they flood my area, i'll guarantee i'll be out taking pics.....i love critters

i love them too... i went on a trip to mexico and it was awesome, catching black widows and scorpions... cool shit.

i watched a show a couple years ago that explained different recipes for boiling, baking, and/or steaming bugs... then putting them on pizza, eating them plain, etc. large bugs and im sure cicadas are definately eaten by people... but i too cant ever bring myself to stick one in my mouth and bite down. the same way i cant bite into a whole soft-shell crab.

let me know what nutrition plan works for you (when you find one that works).

i'm thinking it's near impossible without shakes or eating like 8 meals a day... lol

only thing i plan on eating are some hot dogs and hamburgers this weekend.....lol

you could do six, high protein, low fat meals a day......don't have to be huge meals but "large snacks".........and shakes are a really good idea.......easy protein........it's very hard to eat 3 meals a day and get enough protein, your body can only absorb so much at a time.....it's not easy though

i try to eat at 6am, 9am, 11am, 1:30pm, 4pm, and 7pm with a snack later that night......

but there aren't that many high protein foods out there... what do you eat each time?

btw... this is so

I remember they were bad one year up in MD.
Well... it was southern maryland. It can't be 17 years... cause i would have to have been 3 and theres no way i could remember them if i was 3... i could swear its every 7 years. who knows...

[phonts69]

those things are big as hell!

if that was my backyard, oh would i have a great time with my BB rifle and paintball gun.
i could probably spend hours shooting them. hahahah

good target practice...
plus you wont run out for a whole month.

BTW!
here is a fact about cicadas found on a cicada website.

Question: What is the life span of a cicada?

Answer: That depends on the Genus and species of the cicada. The Magicicada Genus of North America has a 17 or 13 year life cycle (the largest of any insect). Other Geniuses of cicadas have life cycles of a variety of years (never more than 17 and usually a primary number). The Tibicen or "dog day" cicada has a life cycle of only a couple of years and which is one of the reasons why we see them each year.
