The number and proportion of intervention participants (n = 55) who were below, achieved, or exceeded their prescribed estimated energy requirements at 12–17, 26–28, and 36–38 weeks’ gestation

Gestational stage (wk)	Below EER, n (%)	Within EER, n (%)	Exceeded EER, n (%)
12–17	16 (29.1)	22 (40.0)	17 (30.9)
26–28	30 (54.6)	14 (25.5)	11 (20.0)
36–38	31 (56.4)	11 (20.0)	13 (23.6)

Participants were considered to have achieved their prescribed EERs if their actual intake was within 1 SD of their EER (19).
