Stunting merupakan masalah kurang gizi kronis pada anak balita yang disebabkan oleh kurangnya asupan gizi dalam waktu yang lama. Stunting pada anak disebabkan karena hasil jangka panjang pola konsumsi kronis diet yang memiliki kualitas yang buruk dan diiringi dengan morbiditas, penyakit infeksi, serta masalah lingkungan. Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk mengetahui asupan gizi balita stunting di daerah pesisir Kecamatan Bualemo tahun 2022. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian observasional deskriptif dengan subjek penelitian yaitu 47 balita stunting usia 12-59 bulan di daerah lokus stunting di pesisir Kecamatan Bualemo. Pengukuran asupan gizi menggunakan metode recall 24 jam. Analisis data secara deskriptif. Hasil penelitian diperoleh asupan karbohidrat kurang (97,9%), asupan karbohidrat baik (2,1%), asupan protein kurang (42,6%), asupan protein baik (34,0%), asupan zat besi kurang (83,0%), asupan zat besi baik (2,1%), asupan zinc kurang (78,7%), asupan zinc baik (4,3%), asupan kalsium kurang (83,0%), asupan kalsium baik (2,1%), asupan vitamin D kurang (93,6%), dan asupan vitamin D baik (4,3%). Dari hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa asupan karbohidrat, zat besi, zinc, kalsium, dan vitamin D dalam kategori sangat kurang. Oleh karena itu disarankan perlu dilakukannya sosialisasi kepada orang tua balita tentang upaya pemenuhan gizi balita yang mengandung karbohidrat, zat besi, zinc, kalsium, dan vitamin D dengan memanfaatkan sumber pangan lokal.
