Ucwaningo lukhombisa ukuthi iningi labantu abadala abadla imifino banokudla okufanayo kwezakhamzimba nezakhamzimba kubantu abangadli imifino. Ngokukhula, izidingo zamandla omzimba ziyancipha, kodwa isidingo sezinto ezifana ne-calcium, uvithamini D, uvithamini B6 kanye ngokunokwenzeka namaprotheni sizokhula. Ukuchayeka elangeni nakho kuvame ukulinganiselwa, ngakho-ke ukwakheka kwevithamini D kunomkhawulo, ngakho imithombo eyengeziwe kavithamini D ibaluleke kakhulu kubantu asebekhulile.
Abanye abantu bangase babe nobunzima bokumunca uvithamini B12, ngakho imithombo eyengeziwe kavithamini B12 iyadingeka, kuhlanganisa. kusukela ekudleni okuqinisiwe, tk. ngokuvamile uvithamini B12 ovela ekudleni okuqinisiwe nokuqinisiwe amuncwa kahle. Izincomo zamaphrotheni kubantu abadala ziyangqubuzana.
Iziqondiso zokudla okwamanje azincomi ukudla okungeziwe kwamaprotheni kubantu abadala. Abacwaningi be-nitrogen balance meta-analysis baphetha ngokuthi asikho isidingo esicacile sokuncoma ukwesekwa kwamaprotheni kubantu asebekhulile, kodwa wagcizelela ukuthi idatha ayiphelele futhi iphikisana. Abanye abacwaningi baphetha ngokuthi isidingo samaprotheni salolu hlobo lwabantu singase sibe ngu-1 - 1,25 g nge-1 kg. isisindo .
Abantu abadala bangahlangabezana kalula nezidingo zabo zansuku zonke zamaphrotheni ngenkathi bedla imifino., inqobo nje uma ukudla kwezitshalo okucebile ngamaprotheni okufana nemifino nemikhiqizo yesoya kufakwe ekudleni kwansuku zonke. Ukudla kwemifino okucebile nge-fiber yokudla kungase kube usizo kubantu asebekhulile abanokuqunjelwa.
Abadla imifino asebekhulile bangazuza kakhulu eselulekweni sochwepheshe bokudla okunomsoco mayelana nokudla okulula ukukuhlafuna, okudinga ukushisa okuncane, noma okufanele ukudla okwelaphayo.
