This is a commonly asked question.  All Registered Dietitians (RD)/Registered Dietitian Nutritionists (RDN) can be called Nutritionists, but not all Nutritionists are Registered Dietitians (RD) or Registered Dietitian Nutritionists (RDN).  According to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, RD/RDNs are the food and nutrition experts.  A RD/RDN uses evidenced based research to base their suggestions and have the expertise, training, and credentials to promote positive lifestyle choices.  

Dietitians have completed a minimum of a Master's degree from a college or university.  Coursework typically includes food and nutrition sciences, biochemistry, anatomy and physiology, microbiology, chemistry, organic chemistry, food service systems management, calculus, and more.  After completion of their degree RD/RDNs then complete an accredited, supervised, experiential practice internship at a health-care facility, community agency, and food service operation. Upon completion of the internship they must pass a national examination administered by the Commission on Dietetic Registration and complete continuing professional educational requirements to maintain registration.  

On the other hand, there is no real definition for a Nutritionist and no real credentialling requirements for someone to call themselves a nutritionist.  Someone could take a Saturday course on nutrition or have no training and call themselves a nutrition.  There is no credentialing body for a Nutritionist.  

The bottom line is to look for the RD or RDN credential when vetting your source of nutrition information.
