a dietician and a nutritionist are 2 different things. i studied nutrition science which is a different major from Dietetics.   Dietetics: makes diet plans for sick people (obese, underweight, allergic, intolerance, etc) basically food medicine    Nutritionist: actually more specialized on whats in the food (hence nutrition), can only council healthy people for stuff like weight loss (often combined with personal fitness license) and is else usually found in a laboratory. basically food science
