Objective: to evaluate the consumption of nutrients among pregnant women, associating it with inadequate nutritional status. Method: it is a cross-sectional study with 96 pregnant women from Tocantins, with evaluation of the socioeconomic and current pregnancy profile. Two 24-hour recalls assessed nutrient intake. Results: nutrient supplementation was inadequate in 77% of women; 64% had pre-pregnancy excess weight, and 42% maintained it during pregnancy. The inadequacy of weight gain during pregnancy was observed in 74% and the daily intakes of energy (p = 0.019) and lipids (p = 0.003) were significantly different between the strata of pre-gestational nutritional status. Of the low weight pregnant women, 60% ingested proteins and 45% consumed energy below the recommendation. Daily macro and micronutrient intakes were inadequate in the population, what influenced negatively gestational weight gain and nutritional status. Conclusion: malnutrition has undesirable consequences for the binomial and should be detected and corrected early.
