Certainly, The Idea Of eating a live cockroach is gross and personally I'm not advising anyone to do so unless it's Fear Factor Show , here's a little analysis of what your body gains for eating a cockroach.
If it is an adult American Cockroach, your body absorbs all of the following:
Vitamins:
Vitamin A - 48.16 micrograms
Vitamin C - 23.80 mg
Nutritional composition [%] and energy content [kcal/100g], based on dry matter:
Protein - 65.60
Fat - 28.20
Fiber - 3.00
NFE(Carbohydrates) - 0.78
Amino acid content (mg/g protein)
Valine - 65
Arginine - 51
Histidine - 20
Serine - 45
Proline - 65
Alanine - 61
Glycine - 71
Glutamic Acid - 130
Isoleucine - 31
Leucine - 56
Lysine - 40

Actually The Downside Is Not So Good ; You'll never want to eat anything if you don't wash your mouth. American Actor
Nicolas Cage once ate a live cockroach. It was for the movie Vampire's Kiss.
On one hand, he described it as an unpleasant experience
. From IMDB:
Nicolas Cage playing Peter Loew ate a real cockroach for this film - it reportedly took three takes. He once said about the experience, "Every muscle in my body didn't want to do it, but I did it anyway."
But I also recall him saying in another interview that it tasted like chicken.
So if Nicolas Cage could do it and he's alright, then I guess you might also be alright if you eat one. It'll be gross, but it might also taste like chicken.
Have A Nice Meal.. ;)
