Os hábitos alimentares das mulheres grávidas são influenciados por diversos fatores, sendo essencial conhecê-los para a definição de intervenções nutricionais na atenção pré-natal. O objetivo desta revisão integrativa foi analisar a produção bibliográfica sobre hábitos alimentares de gestantes brasileiras. Foram buscados artigos na Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS), PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science e na Scientific Eletronic Library Online (SciELO) utilizando os seguintes descritores: “Gestantes” OR “Grávidas” AND “Hábitos Alimentares” e os termos “Pregnant women” AND “Food habits” AND “Brazil” para busca em inglês. Após a adoção dos critérios de inclusão e exclusão foram analisados 18 estudos. Alguns estudos contemplaram populações específicas como adolescentes ou gestantes não obesas. O instrumento mais utilizado para investigação do consumo alimentar de gestantes foi o Questionário de Frequência Alimentar. A maioria mostrou que a dieta das gestantes precisa de melhorias, especialmente pelo baixo consumo de frutas, verduras e hortaliças, elevado consumo de açúcares, doces e gorduras. A maioria dos estudos concluiu e reforçou a importância e necessidade da educação nutricional pelos profissionais atuantes no pré-natal. Mais estudos são necessários para compreensão mais acurada destes hábitos alimentares.
