What is the difference between what dietitians do and what nutritionists do?
In: 315
Dieticians have to be licensed to use the labels RD or RDN, much like being an RN or an MD. Nutritionists don’t.
Nutritionists may have a lot of knowledge and be a big help or they may just be some weirdo who thinks kale is magic and gluten is the devil. If you wind up on a structured diet in a hospital, for example, you WILL be working with a dietician, not a nutritionist.
