What is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist?

​​A registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN) is a food and nutrition expert who provides evidence-based and up-to-date nutrition information and helps make the science personal. Dietitians must first complete the strict academic requirements to become an RDN, and then must maintain accreditation by meeting continuing education requirements. All RDNs may call themselves dietitians, registered dietitian nutritionists (RDN), or even nutritionists, but not all nutritionists can call themselves dietitians!
