Contributions of macronutrients to total energy intakes of pregnant women by region: •, protein as a percentage of total energy intake; △, fat as a percentage of total energy intake; ⧫, carbohydrate as a percentage of total energy intake; LAC refers to Mexico, the Caribbean and Central/South America; numbers in square brackets represent reference numbers. Percentages of total energy intake of studies in the present review are compared with the ranges of recommended intake (represented by vertical reference lines; 10–15 % of total energy for protein, 15–30 % of total energy for fat and 55–75 % of total energy for carbohydrate) as defined by WHO/FAO^{( 28 )}. Only studies with intake information available for all three macronutrients are shown
