What’s the difference between a dietitian and a nutritionist?
All dietitians are nutritionists, but not all nutritionists are dietitians. A registered dietitian is a credentialed, nationally recognized food and nutrition expert and must have:
Completed a minimum of a bachelor’s degree at an accredited college or university;
Completed an accredited supervised practice program;
Passed a national examination administered by the Commission on Dietetic Registration.
