Background: chronic energy deficiency (CED) is a nutritional problem in pregnant women that is still common in Indonesia. CED in pregnant women can cause disorders in the mother's immune system, increase the risk of infection, and affect the body's ability to recover after childbirth. Objective: This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of a supplementary feeding program (SFM) for pregnant women with CED at the Kenali Besar Community Health Center, Jambi City. Methods: This was a quantitative study with a quasi-experimental design. The study was conducted on 17 pregnant women with CED who received the supplementary feeding program from the Community Health Center for 3 months. Data analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon test. Results: Based on the results of the study, it is known that the supplementary feeding program is effective in overcoming CED in pregnant women (p-value: 0.001). Conclusion: Supplementary feeding program is effective in overcoming CED in pregnant women. Therefore, it is recommended that the supplementary feeding program by the health center continue. In addition, supplementary feeding program provided should be based on local foods so that pregnant women can independently prepare healthy meals at home.
