<![CDATA[Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) in pregnant women is a serious nutritional problem that can increase the risk of maternal mortality and inhibit fetal growth, including the risk of low birth weight (LBW). Pregnant women at risk of CED were found to require nutrition-based interventions using local foods to increase their daily energy intake. This study aims to implement nursing care through the provision of an innovative intervention using catfish nuggets and tempeh as an effort to improve nutritional status, particularly body weight indicators, in pregnant women with CEN. This is a descriptive case study involving two pregnant women. The intervention provided consisted of nutrition education and Supplementary Feeding (PMT) in the form of a combination of catfish nuggets and tempeh. After the intervention, both respondents showed positive responses to the nutritional intake provided. Physically, there was an increase in clinical indicators in the form of weight gain in both respondents. This nugget innovation has proven to be highly acceptable to pregnant women and has a positive impact on improving energy intake and supporting weight gain during pregnancy. The provision of catfish nuggets and tempeh has a positive impact as a complementary intervention to increase the weight of pregnant women with KEK. This intervention can be used as an alternative solution for health workers at the community level because it is practical, economical, and nutrient-dense.
