Methods: Using food scales, 32 healthy pregnant women estimated their food intake over a period of 2days at gestational week 16, 22, 30, 36 and, in addition, 6weeks after delivery. The recorded food logs were analyzed with respect to caloric intake and macronutrient composition. Results: The women's age was averaged 29.6±4.5years, and the mean pre-pregnancy BMI was 22.4±2.5kg/m2. Mean weight gain was 16.5±4.5kg. On average, birth took place during the 40th week of gestation, with the babies having a mean birth weight of 3,515±406g. Caloric intake during the gestation period and post-partum showed no statistically significant changes and added up 9,237±1,876kJ/day during the 16th week of gestation, 9,496±2,437kJ/day during the 22nd, 9,073±1,863kJ/day during the 30th, 9,525±2,135kJ/day during the 36th week and 8,445±2,160kJ/day 6weeks after delivery. No significant changes were observed in the composition of macronutrients during the pregnancy. The daily composition of macronutrients was as follows: carbohydrates 281±57g/day (51.7%), fat 86±16g/day (35.8%) and protein 75±13g/day (13.9%). However, we observed a decrease in carbohydrate intake of 239±72g/day (48%) after birth. Conclusions: Healthy pregnant women showed no significant changes in their caloric intake or nutritional profiles. Performed with an accurate measurement, this prospective study shows that healthy pregnant require neither increased caloric intake nor a change in macronutrient composition.
