nutritionist
Healthy eating expert
A nutritionist advises people on diet and eating habits to improve health.
The term is less regulated than dietitian—in many places, anyone can call themselves a nutritionist regardless of credentials.
I consulted a nutritionist about my chronic fatigue.
Nutritionists work in healthcare, fitness, and food industries, creating meal plans and counseling clients on weight management or medical conditions.
