- Abstract- This study aimed to assess the effect of eggs consumption and nutrition counseling to pregnant women to increased body weight and hemoglobin levels. A quasiexperiment with non-randomized pretest-posttest with control group design was applied within this study. The population is pregnant women who had antenatal care at health centers Kassi- Kassi. Samples were selected by purposive sampling, which are divided into treatment group who received nutritional counseling and eggs and a control group that did not get any treatment. The results of this study showed that weight gain at treatment group was significantly different with the control group. Hemoglobin levels of pregnant women in both groups before and after treatment were significantly decrease in which the control group decreased higher but not significantly different. Amount of energy and protein intake of pregnant women in the treatment group increased significantly while the control group of energy and protein intake does not significantly increase. It can be concluded that eggs consumption and nutritional counseling affect an increase in energy and protein intake of pregnant women. Each health center suggested for implementing nutrition counseling for pregnant women who are chronic energy malnutrition (CEM) and from poor families can receive special attention so that the prevalence of maternal anemia could be reduced.
