Izingane ze-lacto-ovo-imifino zinezinga lokukhula nentuthuko elifanayo nontanga bazo abangadli imifino. Kunolwazi oluncane kakhulu olutholakalayo ekukhuleni nasekuthuthukisweni kwezingane ze-vegan ekudleni okungewona ama-macrobiotic, kodwa ukubonwa kusikisela ukuthi izingane ezinjalo zincane kakhulu kunontanga yazo, kodwa zingaphakathi kwesisindo nokuphakama kwezindinganiso zezingane zale minyaka. Ukungakhuli kahle nokukhula kubhalwe phakathi kwezingane ngokudla okuqinile.
Ukudla okuvamile kanye nokudla okulula, okuhambisana nokudla okuqinisiwe (izinhlamvu zasekuseni eziqinisiwe, isinkwa esiqinisiwe kanye ne-pasta) kuzovumela izingane ezidla imifino ukuba zihlangabezane kangcono namandla kanye nezidingo zomsoco zomzimba. Isilinganiso sokudliwa kwamaprotheni emzimbeni wezingane ezidla imifino (i-ovo-lacto, i-vegans ne-macrobiota) ngokuvamile kuhlangana futhi ngezinye izikhathi kudlule izibonelelo zansuku zonke ezidingekayo, nakuba izingane ezidla imifino zingadla ukudla okuncane kwamaprotheni kunabantu abangadli imifino.
Izingane ze-Vegan zingase zibe nesidingo esikhulayo samaprotheni ngenxa yomehluko ekugayweni kokudla kanye nokwakheka kwama-amino acid amaprotheni asetshenziswa ekudleni kwezitshalo. Kodwa lesi sidingo saneliswa kalula uma ukudla kuqukethe inani elanele lemikhiqizo yezitshalo ezinothe amandla futhi ukuhlukahluka kwazo kukhulu.
Kufanele kuqashelwe ngokukhethekile ukuze kukhethwe imithombo efanele ye-calcium, i-iron ne-zinc, kanye nokukhethwa kokudla okukhuthaza ukumuncwa kwalezi zinto, lapho kwenziwa ukudla kwezingane ezidla imifino. Umthombo onokwethenjelwa kavithamini B12 nawo ubalulekile ezinganeni ezidla inyama. Uma kunokukhathazeka mayelana nokwakheka kwe-vitamin D okwanele, ngenxa yokuchayeka okulinganiselwe elangeni, umbala wesikhumba kanye nethoni, inkathi, noma ukusetshenziswa kwe-sunscreen, uvithamini D kufanele athathwe yedwa noma ekudleni okuqinile.
