So a registered nutritionist is a dietician? I'm doing a food science and nutrition degree currently, how is that different from a dietician then since although the title for my degree is nutrition but I do have the education background?
Yes, but you can be considered a dietitian also. We worked hard to get our degrees to bring the safest, best advice to clients. I have had clients literally come back to me crying after seeing a "nutritionist" who gave them harmful advice or just sold them expensive useless items. I am not trying to downplay anyone's livelihood but when it comes to giving health/medical advice, it should be left to the professionals, such as yourself. Thanks for the comment. Best, Andrea.
I practice as a nutritionist b/c I'm not interested in doing the internship but my bsc is in nutrition and dietetics, but true there are a lot of quacks out there calling themselves nutritionist
