Hello,

Nutritionist is a person that advises children, men and women of different age groups related to the food pattern, diet, nutrition, and other related things.

Students after their 12th must opt for nutrition courses as their undergraduate course. Some of the courses are B.Sc. in Nutrition and Dietetics, B.Sc. in Clinical Nutrition and Dietetics, or certificate courses.

The scope for nutritionist and dieticians have increased in India. After UG courses students can either continue their further studies or opt for jobs like Clinical Dietician, Pediatrician, Sports dietician, Community dietician, etc.

Hope it helps.

Good Luck!!
