gut-load

Potatoes work well. Also, you can buy cricket food(called gutload) at petstores. Plain oatmeal works really well, too.
Just some advice... you should limit the amount of mealworms you feed your beardeds. The outer-shell of the worms can cause your dragons to become impacted. They can't fully digest the shell.
You can read more about that as well as get alternative food ideas here...

Hope that helps

save a lid (like a lid from peanut butter jar) and put the meal worms in it separate from but near leafy greens.

I always feed them potatos I cut them in half and they usually will eat it in a couple of days We buy our mealworms 1000 at a time.
