Abstract: 
Pregnant mothers (456) and their families were enrolled in a health program and subsequently randomly assigned either to a supplemented (N = 226) or an unsupplemented (N = 230) group. Distribution of enriched bread, milk and cooking oil was initiated during the 6th mo. of pregnancy. Sufficient supplements were given to meet a substantial proportion of the recommended dietary allowance for all family members. Dietary surveys by the 24 h recall method were conducted during the 6th mo. of pregnancy prior to supplementation of the intervened group and repeated 2 mo. later. The dietary intake of the control did not change significantly. Delivery of 850 cal and 38 g of protein/day per capita to the pregnant women in the intervened group resulted in net intake increments of 133 cal and 20 g of protein. Of the calories provided, 363 were not ingested and 360 replaced calories in the usual diet. Of the protein provided, 12 g were not ingested while 6.8 g replaced protein in the usual diet. For both calorie and protein, replacement correlated positively with initial intake. Although significant, the effect of supplementation on calorie and protein intake was much lower than expected. The importance of understanding the causes of replacement and misuse to improve planning of supplementation programs is emphasized.
