The nutrients that pregnant women need to maintain the health of their fetuses are protein, folic acid, calcium, vitamin A, vitamin D, and iron. The practice of consuming nutritious food is strongly influenced by the level of knowledge and behavior towards food. Lack of knowledge about nutrition can cause pregnant women to be unable to design and arrange nutritious meals that must be consumed. This research design is a quasi-experimental approach with a nonrandomized pretest-posttest control group design approach. The illustrations used are 50 pregnant women and will be divided into one control group and one treatment group. As the independent variable is the practice of compiling a nutritious meal menu, the dependent variable is the pattern of consuming nutrients, and the confounding variable is the age of the pregnant woman, the level of learning of the pregnant woman, the level of family income, and the gestational age. The information analysis used an independent t-test and a dependent t-test. The results of the research show that there is an increase in the average consumption of protein, Fe, folic acid, and zinc after being given treatment in the form of the practice of compiling a nutritious menu for pregnant women. After that, there is a significant comparison between the average nutritional consumption before and after being given leaflets and the practice of compiling menus. Next, there is a significant comparison between the average consumption of protein and zinc between the two groups and there is no significant comparison between the average consumption of Fe and Folic acid in both groups. The advice given is to increase knowledge, behavior, and expertise about nutritious food for pregnant women. So that demonstration procedures or practices need to collaborate with other counselling methods and to increase family income for pregnant women, it is necessary to raise family businesses carried out by pregnant women through the efforts to increase prosperous family income Program.
