Evaluation of diet of overweight pregnant women
Keywords:
pregnancy, weight gain, feed, dietAbstract
The objective of this study was to verify the adequacy of calories and some nutrients intake in pregnant women with pregestational overweight. A sample of 110 pregnant women, attending a prenatal assistance ambulatory of the city of São Paulo (Brazil), was evaluated. The diet was investigated by the 24-hour recall method. The proportion of macronutrients was 55% of carbohydrates, 16% of proteins and 29% of lipids. The median caloric consumption was 1736 cal. The intake of some micronutrients was fitting the recommendations in about 50% for calcium, 33% for iron and 43% for folate. The diet calories were satisfactory, but the amounts of calcium, iron and folate were insufficient. These data permit a presumption of the presence of specific nutritional deficiencies in the studied group.
