Justice’s Answer

I would avoid 'nutritionist' as this can be a loose title and qualification depending on where you plan to take your career. Particularly in the United States, the 'nutritionist' title can be acquired through online courses, basic certificates and does not require formal schooling or education. Dietitians in the united states are required to go through formal schooling/education and receive their licensure!
