Registered Dietitian vs. Nutritionist:
A Dietitian is an expert in food and nutrition. Dietitians give dietary advice, help promote healthy eating habits, develop specific diets for people, and participate in nutrition research. They are regulated by the American Dietetic Association (ADA). They must meet strict educational and professional prerequisites and pass a national exam before functioning as a Registered Dietitian.
Nutritionists are health specialists who are interested in food and nutritional science, preventative nutrition, diseases related to nutrient deficiencies, and the use of food and nutrients to cure disease and ailments. They also are not regulated. They have varying degrees of education in nutrition – some have very little and some may have a masters or PhD. Since the term “nutritionist” isn’t regulated, anyone can call themselves a nutritionist and dispense nutritional information without having any education whatsoever.
