With all of the nutrition information floating around, be sure to know where to look to get your nutrition information. Everyone seems to be a nutrition expert these days – your friend you meet for coffee, the friend at the gym, or the personal trainer you’ve hired to help you get healthy. Keep in mind that anyone can call themselves a nutritionist. Anyone can give nutrition advice, even if it is not accurate. Some may claim to be a Certified Nutritionist. In other words they may have taken a two hour online course! When your looking for credible nutrition advice be sure to look for a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN). RDNs must have at least a bachelors degree in nutrition (many have a Master’s), complete a dietetic internship, pass a national exam, and complete continuing education. So next time your looking for nutrition advice, look no further than your local RDN! To find a dietitian in your area go to Find an Expert on the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics website.
