Abstract:	The act of preparing food, especially at home, may be related to improvement in healthy eating patterns. This study analyzed the association between home-prepared meals consumption and the food markers consumption, and weight gain in pregnant women followed up in Primary Health Care in the Federal District (DF), Brazil. This is a cross-sectional study, conducted with pregnant women of all gestational ages. The characteristics of meals preparation and intake, as well as the consumption of food markers, were evaluated through structured questionnaires. Gestational weight gain was evaluated based on data recorded in the pregnant woman’s booklet. Variables related to pregnancy, health, lifestyle, and socioeconomic status were analyzed as covariates. A total of 233 pregnant women were included in this study, with a mean age of 28.50 (SD = 6.32) years. Inadequate gestational weight gain was found in 46% of pregnant women. Consumption of soft drinks was 49% lower in pregnant women who prepared all meals at home. Eating homeprepared meals was inversely associated with a high score for unhealthy foods. Home-prepared meals consumption could be an effective health promotion strategy in Primary Health Care, helping to increase the chances of vegetable consumption, and decrease the consumption of soft drinks.
