What Does a Nutritionist Do?
Answer:
Nutritionists are specialists in study of nutrition,
including nutritional deficiencies, sources of nutrition, and education about proper nutrition. Some nutritionists work in the research field, learning more about food and nutritional requirements. Other nutritionists make nutritional recommendations for the public. Public health nutritionists identify nutritional problems in different populations, as well as providing outreach and nutritional education to those communities.

Dietitians are nutritionists who work directly with clients or patients regarding their nutritional needs. Dietitians might work in schools or hospitals, supervising meal planning to ensure that nutritional requirements are met. Other dietitians work with patients, such as cancer patients, to use nutrition as a disease fighting tool, or with athletes or others requiring a special diet. Weight loss is one of the most common reasons that nutritionists such as dietitians are asked for help.
