If these are the artificial hormone growth size enhanced mealworms, I wouldnt use them.
If you meand superworms/kingworms (Zophobas morio) then here is a good substrate gutload: https://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/sandrachameleon/443-superworm-substrate-gutload-one.html
and in addition provide small pieces of dandelion, apple, carrot, squash, yam, etc for moisture (potatoe hasnt much nutritional value). Older pads and flowers of Prickly Pear Cactus are considered High in Oxlic Acid, yound pads less so. Use only in moderation.
