A dietitian has had at least 4 years of accredited university training specifically around nutrition science and is eligible for membership of the dietitian’s Association of Australia. Dietitians look at whole foods as well as individual micronutrients to create healthy eating plans for individual conditions – we use food more than we would ever use supplements. Our recommendations are based on research rather than the latest trends in dieting and eating. A dietitian can also call themselves a nutritionist however a nutritionist cannot call themselves a dietitian.
