Mfundo ya chakudya cha nkhaka imayikidwa pazokha za nkhaka zatsopano, zomwe zidzakhale zopangidwa kuchokera ku menyu a zakudya izi. Pa chakudya, chomwe ndi sabata limodzi, mukhoza kutaya makilogalamu asanu olemera kwambiri. Komanso, kupatula kuchepetsa thupi, chakudya cha nkhaka chingathandize kuimitsa thupi. Kugwiritsira ntchito nkhaka zatsopano kumapangitsa kuti chimbudzi chikhale chothandiza, kumathandiza kuyeretsa thupi la poizoni (ngati diuretic, chifukwa nkhaka ndi 95 peresenti ya madzi) ndi kuimika mchere wa asidi mumthupi. Nkhaka zimagwiritsidwa ntchito kuyeretsa khungu, kenako zimakhala ndi mawonekedwe atsopano komanso owoneka bwino.
Chofunika kwambiri cha zakudya ndi leaching ya zinthu zovulaza m'thupi, chifukwa chakuti nkhaka ili ndi madzi ambiri.
Zotsatira zapamwamba za zakudya za nkhaka zingathe kupezeka, ngati mutadya makilogalamu awiri a nkhaka zatsopano tsiku. Kuchokera ku nkhaka, mukhoza kupanga saladi atavala mafuta a masamba (makamaka azitona), kapena madzi a mandimu.
Ngati simungadye nkhaka tsiku lonse, mukhoza kuwonjezera zakudya zina pa zakudya zanu, mwachitsanzo, mungadye chidutswa chakuda chakuda cham'mawa. Chakudya chamadzulo, nyama yophika nkhuku (osapitirira 100 g), ndi msuzi wa masamba (mpaka 150 g), ndipo pa chakudya chamadzulo mukhoza kudya mpunga (200 g). Zipatso, maapulo kapena malalanje akulimbikitsidwa, koma osapitirira 2 zidutswa patsiku.
