Action to reduce infant and child mortality must incorporate maternal health including ensured adequate nutrients intakes before and during pregnancy. Adequate nutrition during pregnancy is a strong determinant of pregnancy outcome as well as the health, well being, development and quality of life of the unborn child. This study is crosssectional in design and evaluated the adequacy of nutrients intakes of Nigerian pregnant women. 72 pregnant women attending ante-natal care clinic had their nutrients intakes assessed using a structured 24-hour dietary recall questionnaire. The age of the respondents ranged from 17 to 45 years with a mean of 26.4±4.1 years and the gestational age ranged from 12 to 36 weeks with a mean of 28.5±3.6 weeks. Percentages RDA met in the first trimester of pregnancy were 135.5%, 82.6%, 84.5% and 40.0% for energy, protein, iron and calcium respectively. In the second trimester of pregnancy, percentages met were 145.4%, 82.6%, 89.3% and 43.5%. The respondents in the third trimester of pregnancy met 138.7% of the energy RDA while percentages protein, iron and calcium met were 77.4%, 76.5%, and 57.5% respectively. There were inadequacies in all the nutrients evaluated except in energy intake. The result calls for the need to increase nutrition education/counseling among women of child bearing age. Efforts should be increased to ensure adequate nutrients intakes among pregnant women.
