What is the difference between what dietitians do and what nutritionists do?
In: 315
Dieticians are formally educated, trained, and licensed, at least in the USA. It’s like a lawyer or doctor, there’s official educational standards and paperwork required for becoming a dietician. Nutritionist *is not* a protected title. Anyone can call themselves a nutritionist. It means nothing.
As to what they do, a dietician will give someone guidance on diets and nutrition. A nutritionist does whatever they feel like.
