What is the difference between a Registered Dietitian and a Nutritionist?
​
Anyone can call themselves a nutritionist, but only a registered dietitian (RD) or registered dietitian-nutritionist (RDN) has the credentials to prove their expertise. Although some RDs choose to call themselves nutritionists, other individuals with no formal nutrition education may also use the term to sound more credible.
​
Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) is a licensed nutrition expert. For a license they must have at least a bachelor’s degree in nutrition from an accredited university or college. After that they must also complete 1,200 hours of supervised practice through an ACEND (Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics) accredited practice program. They then have to pass a national examination that the Commission on Dietetic Registration administers. RDNs also need to complete continuing professional educational requirements to maintain registration.
