Crickeat

Our product Crickeat is a nutrition calculator that helps you to integrate insects into your diet, as well as providing recipes to mask a perhaps unappealing taste. It is for anyone who is trying to eat more healthily and is willing to try something new to save the planet.

Recently me and Benedict got to try some crickets, and can genuinely say that they are not too bad and they seemed like a wonder food once we found out they are so unbelievably sustainable making them a good idea for us to base our app around.

Insects are hundreds of times more sustainable than than other meats like beef or pork and are also incredibly rich in protein and fibre which are two things many people do not get enough of in the modern world with 1 in 8 having a protein deficiency and 1 in 20 being deficient in fibre.

The app would include a nutrition calculator which would take in a range of values (height, weight, gender, exercise frequency) to tell people their nutrition needs. It would also provide them with recipes using insects which we would sell and provide appropriate macros helping them to meal plan.

Recently there has been a lot of debate around eating meat regarding climate change and an insect based diet is a great alternative to keep the diet rich in protein, so we feel that we are well suited to such issues as well as helping people be healthier.
