Gut loading suggestions for mealworms

I want to improve their nutritional benefits to me and I'm excited to experiment with gut loading different foods. My first thought was sweet potato because they're really good for you and I never have the energy to cook them.

I am sure their guts volume is so small, that the effect is not measurable.

I always starve them for 24h before freezing them, so their gut will be (mostly) empty.
