Wondering what it is like having a dietitian help guide you towards adopting new healthy eating behaviours. Here are a few answers to help clear things up.
What is the difference between a dietitian and a nutritionist?
Short answer is it depends on where you are from. If you are from Québec, both titles mean the same thing. They are both protected by the Ordre des diététistes-nutritionnistes du Québec (ODNQ), A dietitian/nutritionist is a health professional that has completed about 4 years of theoretical and practical training at an accredited university. If you are from other parts of Canada or the USA, the term dietitian (also shown as Registered Dietitian or RD) is most commonly used to indicate regulated nutrition health professionals.
