Hi! I'm a Nutrition student in my country and I find it really interesting to see how different the approach to our career can be in different countries 🙈
I can totally relate to the "alpaca life!" Everyone gives me odd looks for my Osprey two-day pack that I have to use to fit all of my books and lunch and stuff. Thanks for the video!
Hi! I'm a college student planning to change my major to nutrition. I was wondering do you have a part time job and do you know if it is common to have a part time job with a nutrition major
Hey there!! So I've had a number of different part time jobs throughout this degree. I've worked as a barista, a chef's assistant, and just recently landed a "work from home" type of position. It's definitely a challenge, especially in your senior year, but most of my classmates hold a part time gig. It's also recommended, since the DICAS application is rather competitive. They want to see what else you do outside of the classroom, and a part time job is a great example of that! Hope that helps!
If you choose to become an RD, just know that it'll require a lot of science classes and involvement in activities outside of class. But honestly, if you have the drive, the dream and the discipline to pursue this (or any) career, you'll be just fine. That's not to say there won't be tough classes, setbacks and obstacles. But don't let self-doubt get in the way if this is something you truly want to do!! :)
I'd love to be a dietitian, I'm gonna graduate high school at the end of this year inshallah and I'm from Iraq here we don't really have a separate department for like studying dietetics rather you have to study general medicine at first and then work in a hospital for almost 2 years and eventually you get to choose your specialty which includes dietetics.... so I'm planning on studying abroad 🤓
That's wonderful! Yeah, I've come to realize that every country handles the profession differently. And I think it's only going to change more as nutrition therapy becomes a bigger player in healthcare. Whatever path you take, I hope you enjoy it! Thank you so much for watching, and best of luck!! :))
Sarah 17 actually we have a nutrition study as a health technology if you know in kurdstan (north of iraq) in erbil for your information i’m studying at Cihan University nutrition department you can google it sarah and you will see that you can study nutrition without going to medical college ويعني هم تگدرين تتخصيين بالتغذيه وره الطب هم عادي بس يطول اما نيوترشن اربع سنين بااربيل
reading_brb i just want to ask you about accepting students from other countries how that possible if so ? Many regards for your videos i really like the way you talk 🌸🌸
@@noornet7 Really !! I didn't know that thanks for telling me , I guess going to erbil would be an alternative for me in case my dad didn't accept the idea me studying abroad
Sarah 17 yeah nutrition is one of new science i mean it’s not so popular in our country iraq but here in erbil where i live it opened since 2017 and my stage will be the first to graduate from nutrition Department as we are the first to be graduate from this new department in the whole iraq Cihan University is the only university which give a bachelor degree in nutrition as a (4 years of studying) in iraq and kurdstan region,,so here is our facebook page if you want to check. m.facebook.com/NUTR.Dept.CU2017/ . And i want to mention that we traveled to Europe last year to visit one of European universities to check their nutrition departments and i hope we can do all good things to nutrition community
hi! i’m also really interested in nutrition sciences. around how much work do you usually have after class? also do you mind saying what college do you go to? (i couldn’t find if you said it) i’m looking for inspiration :)
Hey! Thank you for watching! I go to school on the west coast. Nevada and California both have great nutrition programs. I do spend a lot of time outside of the classroom studying as well as interning/getting field experience. But I couldn't give you a solid number... I think it varies from person to person!
I'm a senior in high school and I'm planning to attend college to become a dietitian. I was wondering what kind of laptop/2 in 1 etc. you use for school. I'm trying to find one for college that hopefully isn't crazy expensive, but will last a long time for the price.
Hey Jacqueline! I just use a Macbook Air at the moment. I've had it for over five years I think. It's served me well! I think as I move out of school I'll be switching to a Macbook Pro, but we'll see! Hope that helps :)
hello, if you don’t mind me asking, what are you planning to do with the rest of your life after you graduate (i want to major in nutrition but i don’t know what career options that gives me)
Hi there! So I’m not entirely sure when I’ll go next but I’m hoping my rotations during the dietetic internship will give me an idea. There are actually tons of different paths you can take as an RDN for clinical, to sports, to community health, etc. I personally think I’ll be interested in medical nutrition therapy, maybe specialize in something. But again, it’ll depend on what I experience once I’m actually out there.
Best of luck!! I feel you on that. So happy to hear it's bringing you joy though. Accomplishing something that's tough, but you also love so much - best feeling.
I just now came across this video. Long story short: I work as a Security Officer at my local hospital. I’ve never had any interest at working at a hospital, now that I’m here, I developed a interest of branching out to a medical field type of career, I’m thinking of maybe a Dietitian / Nutritionist. Working at the hospital sort of opened my eyes / mind to work a medical field career. (Don’t feel like I’m smart enough for nurse/ doctor/ PT, that sort of thing. So I’m doing research, watching YT Videos on how to and what to expect. So I think I may check out several more of your videos. Oh! And I love the beats you play in between each section of the video!! Beats like this, I’ll most definitely be checking out more of your videos! Thanks
Hey! So wonderful to hear. That's a great story! If you do want to work in a hospital setting as a dietitian, you will need to get a bachelors, complete a dietetic internship (roughly 7 - 12 months), and pass the national exam. I think... starting in 2024, you'll also be required to have a masters in nutrition science. I hope that helps with your research! But technically anyone can get involved in the nutrition field as a nutritionist, so long as they're passionate about it. There are plenty of certification programs! It just depends on what level of institution you want to work in. If you're passionate about it, don't hold back thinking you aren't "smart" enough. If it speaks to you, it's for you! Best of luck! And thank you so much for watching!! :)
Really enjoyed this video and how you described what you talked about in your classes. I really want to study nutritional science, any tips for a high school student wanting to study that in the future? Thank you!!
Hey Cait! Thank you so much for watching! The nutrition field is reallyyyy on the come-up, so it's a great time to join the profession. I have so many tips to give... but I think really taking advantage of your biology and chemistry courses in high school will help when it comes time for college classes. A psychology elective might also be a good move, since so many of our food choices are rooted in emotion. And then take some time to volunteer or enroll in an extracurricular that has to do with the field of nutrition: cooking class, gardening, a soup kitchen, teaching kids about how to eat healthy, etc. etc. - it'll teach you more about the profession, and also boost your resume! Hope that helps!! :)
I absolutely love this video! I just graduated HS and am planning on majoring in Nutrition Science and Dietetics. Sounds like I will be taking all the classes you mentioned! I am so excited but also nervous. Do you have any advise?
Oh congrats on graduating!! So happy to hear you're considering a career in nutrition :) My advice would be to study hard, keep an open mind (the nutrition field is constantly changing), and take every opportunity you can to gain greater experience or knowledge. You'll never regret taking the time to see and do more!
I’m studying nutrition to be a dietician too! It’s funny because it sounds like we’ve taken some of the same classes! Are you planning on taking your RD exam after undergrad or get your masters first? I know in my state I have to get my masters degree before I can sit for the exam :\
Oh awesome!! My plan is to finish school, go through the internship and then sit for my exam. I'm on track to be grandfathered in without needing a masters degree. I know that goes into effect in 2024? Or something like that? I definitely got lucky! Though who knows, I may pursue another degree regardless. Especially if I want to specialize or teach!
I want to major in nutritional science :D. But I'm really unsure of where to apply as some universities may be good, but are not good for nutritional science. Could anyone give any recommendations? Tanks :)
Hi there!! Definitely ask around and get alumni's opinions. I chose my school for the financial aid they could offer. I think the biggest thing is finding what's right for you, and making sure it's an accredited university whose program will count toward your license. I know some nutrition programs aren't accredited nor designed for future registered dietitians!
How hard would you say being a nutrition major is? I want to be a dietitian but I get stressed out easily. I’m only a junior in highschool but I feel like I should know what I’m going to in college by now
It can definitely be challenging at times! I took many classes with nursing majors. And the path to becoming one is becoming longer… but if you love it and you’re super passionate about food… then that will carry you and make it easier. Any career path will have its challenges. That’s life! So pick something that speaks to you!
Hey Mike! I don't know the exact statistics, but it's definitely a female dominated profession... at least in my own personal experience. The demographic is similar to your typical nursing program. That being said, we have a handful of men in my program and they're all wonderful! We definitely need more male RDN's!
Fellow nutrition major, I switched from nursing. It’s extremely hard to work while in nursing school. Do you work while in the nutrition program? And do you work full time?
Hey! I've taken numerous classes with nursing majors and I've heard how difficult the program is! I've worked numerous part time jobs as a nutrition major. Just recently I landed something that allows me to work from home, and that's been a huge relief, especially as I gear up for senior year. Most of my classmates are working part time. And that's a great thing for your resume. You could potentially do full time! It's possible to juggle it all, but most who do so take a little longer to graduate. They'll just take on less classes each semester. Hope that helps!
reading_brb that’s so good to hear! Thanks for responding! I’m starting a business this year while I finish my last pre-reqs..chem 2 & organic chem. In nursing school it was so hard to work any hours at all 😞 I could forget about starting a business altogether.
@@thee_rarity8477 Of course! Hang in there with the chemistry classes - those were hard for me personally! I'm so happy you're now able to bring your business to life. Wishing you the very best!
Hi, i don't know much about being dietitian in other countries. In my country, you take "Nutrition and dietetics" courses 3 year + 1 year internship (in hospitals + somewhere you choose) and you took the title "dietitian" after finishing that 4 years but as i understood things different in there? Do you study "Nutrition sciences" for 3 years THEN study dietitian after that? Or is there places that similar like in my country? Or something else? Can you explain please ☺️
Hi there! So here in the US you need a four year bachelors, then you must be accepted to and complete a dietetic internship, followed by a board exam to finally get your license. Starting in 2024 (I believe) a masters degree will be required as well. If you want to learn more, check out the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics website!
@@delanceydays wow, thank you so much for information! US really give value to dietitians as I understand. Unfortunately in my country we don't even have law for dietitians protected by government... don't even have an exam...I feel extremely unmotivated thinking being dietitian in my country but want it so bad too :(
Hi! I'm thinking about changing my major! I'm a graduate (Arts) but I have a passion for nutrition and was wondering if it's possible to do so. Please help! Need advice! Thanks
@@delanceydays Hey! thank you so much for responding :) well I hold a degree in Tourism however, I was wondering if I can just get a diploma in Nutrition. I don't have a background in nutrition so was wondering if that's even possible. Good day xx Thanks again!
i think it depends on where you’re going to study medical school as in some countries nutrition requires studying 6 years of med school first and in some other countries nutrition is considered it’s own major .
Hi Michelle! There are so many comments that it’s hard to see everything! Beyan mentioned one potential path. It depends on the country! In the US, they require a bachelors, masters, competition of a dietetic internship, and passing the national board exam. Maybe… 6-8 years? In total? Depends on the person and how fast you want to go! I would check out the Academy of nutrition dietetics to learn more!
Hey! Can you please clear my doubt?! My question is, if I study bachlors in my native country and study masters in different. So do I have to work in the same country or can I work in some other countries too.. By passing their country's entrance test?! It would be gr8 help if you answer! 😊
Hi Lydia! Switching between countries can be tricky with credentials. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics does have a page for international students with that kind of info so I would google it! But yeah… just know that can get tricky so you want to be careful!
Hi!! Check out eatrightpro.org! They have a list of all the accredited programs here in the US, including bachelor programs, dietetic internships, and more: www.eatrightpro.org/acend/accredited-programs/accredited-programs-directory I hope that helps! :)
so im looking into being an RD and was wondering how many years it usually takes. Im looking at grand canyon university and it says i could get a bachelors in nutritional science and this will then help me become a dietician later. does that sound right?
Hey Kymme! Yes, if you want the RDN credential, you’ll need to get a bachelor’s, complete a dietetic internship, and pass the board exam to get your license. For me, it’s looking to be about 5 years total. This of course varies by person and internship length. However, starting in 2024 I believe, you’ll also need a masters to get your license. So add on another two years or so. Check out The Academy of Nutrition Dietetics website for the info - they’re the profession’s governing body!
Thank you a lot! I'm interested in this as major but I have some questions. I'm vegan and I (it sounds silly) really don't want to work with animal products or eat them, but from what I have seen there are cooking classes and they're all eating together and stuff and I'm a bit afraid of being the odd one out for not wanting to eat the 'results' with them. Idk if this is a bit of a weird question but I hope you'll answer :) thank u again
Hi!! Not a silly question at all. I have a handful of friends who are strictly plant-based in my nutrition program. I've been required to take one hands-on cooking class, and while tasting the food was recommended (so you know what you're doing, and you present a great dish to the chef for grading), professors were understanding. I can't have gluten, for example, and neither could one of my good friends. So we just didn't taste anything with gluten! No pressure. Now I don't know how other schools are... maybe you'll have numerous cooking classes... but in my experience people are understanding. That being said, the reality is that you will have to work with clients who eat meat. That's just part of your training. You might need to cook meat-based meals in your classes. You'll need to know the in's and out's of both animal and plant based protein. But forcing you to eat meat? I've never of such a thing. At least where I go to school.
What do you do with your hair after working out? How do you not have it look all greasy and such? I usually don’t want vlogs but I loved this video by the way!
Thank you so much!! So it depends on the workout. On that particular day I didn't sweat toooo much, so I could easily dry shampoo it. But after longer, harder workouts I'll sometimes bring a blow dryer, run that through my hair and then dry shampoo. I love using baseball caps too. Showering is always the best but there aren't any at my gym. So yeah, I kinda play it by ear!
@@mylalarsen9643 I'll use a couple different ones, but I'd say my favorites are the "Not your Mother's" and Dove brands!! There's a few different types of dry shampoo within those brands (ie: volumizing or a certain scent) but I'll just grab whatever's available! Both work really well with my hair! For darker hair, I'd just make sure you really rub in the product, because it does have a white, chalky consistency. Easier to get away with when you have lighter hair.
It's a common mixup! The words are often used interchangeably! All dietitians are nutritionists... but not all nutritionists are dietitians. Because technically anyone can call themselves a nutritionist! There's no hard law or rule about it. A lot of nutritionists get their education through certification programs. And there are wonderful nutritionists out there! Dietitians, on the other hand, require a 4 year degree, a 7-12 month internship, and must sit for a national licensing exam. Dietitians are the only ones working in hospital settings. Their titles have the most reach. A lot of places won't hire you unless you're a dietitian. Nutritionists are much more limited, and usually stick to gyms or private lifestyle practice or health coaching. I hope that helps!! Both career paths are valid and wonderful!
Hi! I'm 16 (almost 17 hehe) and nutrition has been my passion since I'm 14. I also aspire to be an RDN and watching this video brought a huge smile to my face! I would like to know which countries are for you the best to study nutrition? And also if I would be able to do a lot of internships in many different countries during my studies, as I love traveling? Ps: I'm from Congo, and french is my mother tongue, so sorry if I made a lot of mistakes^^^ And now that I think about it, do you think it will be possible to learn Korean for example in a school besides doing my nutrition studies? Sorry for all of these questions :)
Hello!! So happy to hear that you’re interested in becoming an RD! ❤️ I only know what it’s like studying nutrition in the United States - which has been a great experience for me. I think you can study abroad during your undergrad degree, but your internship probably needs to be in the country you plan to work in. This all depends on the school you attend and country you study in! It really varies. But if you look up the academy of nutrition and dietetics, you’ll learn everything you need to know about the profession in the US. Best of luck!!
Hey Sarah! So I would say it falls under both! Nutrition includes bio classes. And you may end up working in clinical dietetics if you become a registered dietitian - working in a hospital as part of a medical team. I also know some people who studied nutrition for undergrad and then went on to medical school!
Hey Grace! Every college and program will be different, but at my specific school we didn't dissect anything beyond a sheep's heart in Anatomy and Physiology lab. No cadavers or cats. In my experience, that's usually a med student thing. But again, every program is different!
Hmmm they sound similar and redundant? Maybe culinary is cooking specific, while nutritionist is clinical specific? I have not heard formal definitions for those terms!
Hi! Im a fresh graduate of nutrition science under graduate degree from Indonesia. Become a student and learn about food and nutrition are really interesting and enjoyable right?
Hey Manpreet! Maybe research the organization in charge of the dietetics profession in Canada? Their website might be able to give you insight on working in the country as a foreigner! Best of luck!!
Hi! Usually, in my experience, yes. It depends on the university’s definition of that major though. Could be food science leaning. I would just double check with the school!
Hey Sernea! An understanding and love of biology is essential. A little chemistry too. If you go clinical, you'll need a little math. But regardless of field, an interest in psychology would also be helpful, as food can be such an emotional thing for many clientele.
Can u suugest good colleges for a masters in nutrition and dietetics,currently im in 2nd year of bachelors in nutrition( souhth asia.) Planning to go abroad for masters..would help me out a lot
Hey! I actually don't know off the top of my head any great places. My school just opened a masters program, but it's very new. I think the midwest and east coast house a lot of great programs, so I would check out those areas of the US! Hope that helps point you in the right direction!! Best of luck in your studies!
4 years of schooling! Then 7-12 months in supervised practice. My classes last a semester. Though some classes come in two parts, such as anatomy and physiology or medical nutrition therapy.
@@delanceydays oh you are having online classes right? due to covid-19 ? You inspired me that how you spend your whole day studying. I get distracted easily😅
Just watched your first video randomly and i like it .. .Also watched your make up video And i have now subscribed your channel .....Make a video on your another hobbies.I would like to watch them
I want to become a nutritionist. but I don't know what subjects r there in this? can u help me by giving some information plz👀 loved ur vlog it was motivating
Hi Essa! Most subjects are in the sciences. Biology, anatomy and physiology, microbio, organic chem, etc. We also cover counseling, business, assessment skills. It’ll depend on the university! But that’s a general idea.
The specific school you study at won't necessarily dictate your salary. It's really going to depend on where you work, the position you take, as well as your level of education. Each state in the US is different due to factors such as cost of living! You can easily google pay ranges in whichever area you plan on working/living in!
This channel isn’t dedicated to nutrition, but I have collaborated with a company to create the podcast show Nutrition Nerd - you can find it on Spotify or in the apple podcast shop! It’s a health and wellness podcast. I discuss basic nutrition concepts over on there if you’re interested!
So good to see a day in a life of a dietitian student:) keep them coming!
So happy you enjoyed it! I appreciate the support! I'm definitely planning on another "day in the life"!
I really want to be a nutritionist...this is so encouraging. Thank you and I'm looking forward to more
So happy this video got you excited to join the profession!! I wish you the best of luck in your journey!
Hi! I'm a Nutrition student in my country and I find it really interesting to see how different the approach to our career can be in different countries 🙈
Yes! Finally, my dream course. I hope I can finish my studies even when I'm online. It's so hard when I'm procrastinating the whole day😭
I'm currently a nutritional science student, so inspiring. I'm a first gen Latina and your channel is so motivating !
Oh my gosh thank you so much! Best of luck in your studies! ☺️❤️

I’m studying nutrition to be a dietician too! It’s funny because it sounds like we’ve taken some of the same classes! Are you planning on taking your RD exam after undergrad or get your masters first? I know in my state I have to get my masters degree before I can sit for the exam :\
Oh awesome!! My plan is to finish school, go through the internship and then sit for my exam. I'm on track to be grandfathered in without needing a masters degree. I know that goes into effect in 2024? Or something like that? I definitely got lucky! Though who knows, I may pursue another degree regardless. Especially if I want to specialize or teach!
Great Video! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much for watching! Glad you liked it :)
And you do CrossFit?! Wow 😭 get this girl 100k subscribers already!!!
omg thank you!! That's so sweet of you to say! And YES, love Crossfit, the ultimate stress relief!
Love it❤
I want to major in nutritional science :D. But I'm really unsure of where to apply as some universities may be good, but are not good for nutritional science. Could anyone give any recommendations? Tanks :)
Hi there!! Definitely ask around and get alumni's opinions. I chose my school for the financial aid they could offer. I think the biggest thing is finding what's right for you, and making sure it's an accredited university whose program will count toward your license. I know some nutrition programs aren't accredited nor designed for future registered dietitians!
@@delanceydays Noted, Thank! :)
How hard would you say being a nutrition major is? I want to be a dietitian but I get stressed out easily. I’m only a junior in highschool but I feel like I should know what I’m going to in college by now
It can definitely be challenging at times! I took many classes with nursing majors. And the path to becoming one is becoming longer… but if you love it and you’re super passionate about food… then that will carry you and make it easier. Any career path will have its challenges. That’s life! So pick something that speaks to you!
Hello, are 90% of students female in this curriculum?
Hey Mike! I don't know the exact statistics, but it's definitely a female dominated profession... at least in my own personal experience. The demographic is similar to your typical nursing program. That being said, we have a handful of men in my program and they're all wonderful! We definitely need more male RDN's!
Fellow nutrition major, I switched from nursing. It’s extremely hard to work while in nursing school. Do you work while in the nutrition program? And do you work full time?
Hey! I've taken numerous classes with nursing majors and I've heard how difficult the program is! I've worked numerous part time jobs as a nutrition major. Just recently I landed something that allows me to work from home, and that's been a huge relief, especially as I gear up for senior year. Most of my classmates are working part time. And that's a great thing for your resume. You could potentially do full time! It's possible to juggle it all, but most who do so take a little longer to graduate. They'll just take on less classes each semester. Hope that helps!
reading_brb that’s so good to hear! Thanks for responding! I’m starting a business this year while I finish my last pre-reqs..chem 2 & organic chem. In nursing school it was so hard to work any hours at all 😞 I could forget about starting a business altogether.
@@thee_rarity8477 Of course! Hang in there with the chemistry classes - those were hard for me personally! I'm so happy you're now able to bring your business to life. Wishing you the very best!
Hi, i don't know much about being dietitian in other countries. In my country, you take "Nutrition and dietetics" courses 3 year + 1 year internship (in hospitals + somewhere you choose) and you took the title "dietitian" after finishing that 4 years but as i understood things different in there? Do you study "Nutrition sciences" for 3 years THEN study dietitian after that? Or is there places that similar like in my country? Or something else? Can you explain please ☺️
Hi there! So here in the US you need a four year bachelors, then you must be accepted to and complete a dietetic internship, followed by a board exam to finally get your license. Starting in 2024 (I believe) a masters degree will be required as well. If you want to learn more, check out the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics website!
@@delanceydays wow, thank you so much for information! US really give value to dietitians as I understand. Unfortunately in my country we don't even have law for dietitians protected by government... don't even have an exam...I feel extremely unmotivated thinking being dietitian in my country but want it so bad too :(
Hi! I'm thinking about changing my major! I'm a graduate (Arts) but I have a passion for nutrition and was wondering if it's possible to do so. Please help! Need advice! Thanks
Hey Nini! I was originally accepted into my university as an acting major! So it's not unheard of! What kind of advice do you need?
@@delanceydays Hey! thank you so much for responding :) well I hold a degree in Tourism however, I was wondering if I can just get a diploma in Nutrition. I don't have a background in nutrition so was wondering if that's even possible. Good day xx Thanks again!
I know this video is really long and I hope you see this but I wanted to ask to become a nutritionist how long does it take to become one ??
i think it depends on where you’re going to study medical school as in some countries nutrition requires studying 6 years of med school first and in some other countries nutrition is considered it’s own major .
hope that helps
Hi Michelle! There are so many comments that it’s hard to see everything! Beyan mentioned one potential path. It depends on the country! In the US, they require a bachelors, masters, competition of a dietetic internship, and passing the national board exam. Maybe… 6-8 years? In total? Depends on the person and how fast you want to go! I would check out the Academy of nutrition dietetics to learn more!
im on the road on becoming an rd too , the coursework and the internship is intimidating but im pushing through it lol
YAY! fellow RD student! I so understand. The internship is always at the back of my mind. Hang in there! It'll all pay off :) Wishing you the best!
Hey! Can you please clear my doubt?!
My question is, if I study bachlors in my native country and study masters in different. So do I have to work in the same country or can I work in some other countries too.. By passing their country's entrance test?!
It would be gr8 help if you answer! 😊
Hi Lydia! Switching between countries can be tricky with credentials. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics does have a page for international students with that kind of info so I would google it! But yeah… just know that can get tricky so you want to be careful!
@@delanceydays Thankyou..💝 Plz guide me with this.. It would be gr8 help! 💝
i wanna be a nutritionist... finally i got an inspiration... please tell which college do you go to in USA this will really help me out
Hi!! Check out eatrightpro.org! They have a list of all the accredited programs here in the US, including bachelor programs, dietetic internships, and more: www.eatrightpro.org/acend/accredited-programs/accredited-programs-directory I hope that helps! :)
so im looking into being an RD and was wondering how many years it usually takes. Im looking at grand canyon university and it says i could get a bachelors in nutritional science and this will then help me become a dietician later. does that sound right?
Hey Kymme! Yes, if you want the RDN credential, you’ll need to get a bachelor’s, complete a dietetic internship, and pass the board exam to get your license. For me, it’s looking to be about 5 years total. This of course varies by person and internship length. However, starting in 2024 I believe, you’ll also need a masters to get your license. So add on another two years or so. Check out The Academy of Nutrition Dietetics website for the info - they’re the profession’s governing body!
Hii. Which one is best clinical nutrition or nutrition & dietetics? Plz answer my question...
Hi! I’m not sure… those sound similar? And I suppose it depends what you mean by “best”
Quite interesting! Love getting to know you!!
Thank you so much, Teresa! Happy to take you along!
Thank you a lot! I'm interested in this as major but I have some questions. I'm vegan and I (it sounds silly) really don't want to work with animal products or eat them, but from what I have seen there are cooking classes and they're all eating together and stuff and I'm a bit afraid of being the odd one out for not wanting to eat the 'results' with them. Idk if this is a bit of a weird question but I hope you'll answer :) thank u again
Hi!! Not a silly question at all. I have a handful of friends who are strictly plant-based in my nutrition program. I've been required to take one hands-on cooking class, and while tasting the food was recommended (so you know what you're doing, and you present a great dish to the chef for grading), professors were understanding. I can't have gluten, for example, and neither could one of my good friends. So we just didn't taste anything with gluten! No pressure. Now I don't know how other schools are... maybe you'll have numerous cooking classes... but in my experience people are understanding. That being said, the reality is that you will have to work with clients who eat meat. That's just part of your training. You might need to cook meat-based meals in your classes. You'll need to know the in's and out's of both animal and plant based protein. But forcing you to eat meat? I've never of such a thing. At least where I go to school.
@@delanceydays Okay thank you for answering! helpful :) xx
What do you do with your hair after working out? How do you not have it look all greasy and such? I usually don’t want vlogs but I loved this video by the way!
Thank you so much!! So it depends on the workout. On that particular day I didn't sweat toooo much, so I could easily dry shampoo it. But after longer, harder workouts I'll sometimes bring a blow dryer, run that through my hair and then dry shampoo. I love using baseball caps too. Showering is always the best but there aren't any at my gym. So yeah, I kinda play it by ear!
reading_brb oh, wow! Okay, I’ve never really used dry shampoo. What kind do you use?
@@mylalarsen9643 I'll use a couple different ones, but I'd say my favorites are the "Not your Mother's" and Dove brands!! There's a few different types of dry shampoo within those brands (ie: volumizing or a certain scent) but I'll just grab whatever's available! Both work really well with my hair! For darker hair, I'd just make sure you really rub in the product, because it does have a white, chalky consistency. Easier to get away with when you have lighter hair.
I'm still trying to understand the differencr between a dietitian and nutritionist lol so are you now training to be a nutritionist or a dietitian?
It's a common mixup! The words are often used interchangeably! All dietitians are nutritionists... but not all nutritionists are dietitians. Because technically anyone can call themselves a nutritionist! There's no hard law or rule about it. A lot of nutritionists get their education through certification programs. And there are wonderful nutritionists out there! Dietitians, on the other hand, require a 4 year degree, a 7-12 month internship, and must sit for a national licensing exam. Dietitians are the only ones working in hospital settings. Their titles have the most reach. A lot of places won't hire you unless you're a dietitian. Nutritionists are much more limited, and usually stick to gyms or private lifestyle practice or health coaching. I hope that helps!! Both career paths are valid and wonderful!
And I'm going to school to be a dietitian!
@@delanceydays thank youuu this really helped! And I wish you the best♡♡
Hi! I'm 16 (almost 17 hehe) and nutrition has been my passion since I'm 14. I also aspire to be an RDN and watching this video brought a huge smile to my face! I would like to know which countries are for you the best to study nutrition? And also if I would be able to do a lot of internships in many different countries during my studies, as I love traveling? Ps: I'm from Congo, and french is my mother tongue, so sorry if I made a lot of mistakes^^^ And now that I think about it, do you think it will be possible to learn Korean for example in a school besides doing my nutrition studies? Sorry for all of these questions :)
Hello!! So happy to hear that you’re interested in becoming an RD! ❤️ I only know what it’s like studying nutrition in the United States - which has been a great experience for me. I think you can study abroad during your undergrad degree, but your internship probably needs to be in the country you plan to work in. This all depends on the school you attend and country you study in! It really varies. But if you look up the academy of nutrition and dietetics, you’ll learn everything you need to know about the profession in the US. Best of luck!!
Hey , nice video ^^
I have a question is nutrition one of the subfields of biology ? Or a medicine's one ?
Hey Sarah! So I would say it falls under both! Nutrition includes bio classes. And you may end up working in clinical dietetics if you become a registered dietitian - working in a hospital as part of a medical team. I also know some people who studied nutrition for undergrad and then went on to medical school!
Hi. I’m a junior in h.s and I’m thinking about majoring in nutrition. Is there any advice you can give me
Study hard! Pay attention in your science classes! Have fun in the kitchen!
Did u dissect animals and cadavers in college? Actually, I am planning to study dietetics but I am scared of dissection.
Hey Grace! Every college and program will be different, but at my specific school we didn't dissect anything beyond a sheep's heart in Anatomy and Physiology lab. No cadavers or cats. In my experience, that's usually a med student thing. But again, every program is different!
I think we dissected a sheep's brain as well.
I too studying food science and nutrition
Can i ask if culinary nutritionist and nutritionist are different?
Hmmm they sound similar and redundant? Maybe culinary is cooking specific, while nutritionist is clinical specific? I have not heard formal definitions for those terms!
Love this videoooo
Ahhhh thank you Lisa!!
Hi! Im a fresh graduate of nutrition science under graduate degree from Indonesia. Become a student and learn about food and nutrition are really interesting and enjoyable right?
Hi!! That's wonderful!! Yes - so so enjoyable! And fulfilling too - it's so great being able to help others.
I have done my bds degree from India. But I want to opt for dietician degree in Canada . What should I do .please give some advice
Hey Manpreet! Maybe research the organization in charge of the dietetics profession in Canada? Their website might be able to give you insight on working in the country as a foreigner! Best of luck!!
Is nutrition science same as ( clinical nutrition or clinical dietitian ) ?
Hi! Usually, in my experience, yes. It depends on the university’s definition of that major though. Could be food science leaning. I would just double check with the school!
Is nutrition is a better choice or bds in medical field
Hi! What do you mean by BDS? To what degree do you refer to?
Hey,I just badged a nutritional therapist certificate can you recommend me any type of job
Ooo maybe a gym or health coach on general nutrition?
hi am new here. i want to know more about your program and subjects one must br very good at in high school before studying nutrition
Hey Sernea! An understanding and love of biology is essential. A little chemistry too. If you go clinical, you'll need a little math. But regardless of field, an interest in psychology would also be helpful, as food can be such an emotional thing for many clientele.
Can u suugest good colleges for a masters in nutrition and dietetics,currently im in 2nd year of bachelors in nutrition( souhth asia.) Planning to go abroad for masters..would help me out a lot
Hey! I actually don't know off the top of my head any great places. My school just opened a masters program, but it's very new. I think the midwest and east coast house a lot of great programs, so I would check out those areas of the US! Hope that helps point you in the right direction!! Best of luck in your studies!
This is so awesome!
thank you so much!
Is it possible to finish the degree part time ?
absolutely! It'll just take longer... but I know plenty of people who have taken half the expected classes every semester and still finish!
What university are you studying nutrition at?
I study on the west coast!
Do you have to take Calculus?
Just Pre-Calc! Though every program will be different.
So dope!
thanks bubbie!!
Sorry, is she from USA or Canada?
US!
Do boys have good scope in nutrition?
There is definitely a need for more male dietitians!
I’m also a nutrition major!! #rd2b
Oh awesome!! Right on!
your course duration?
4 years of schooling! Then 7-12 months in supervised practice. My classes last a semester. Though some classes come in two parts, such as anatomy and physiology or medical nutrition therapy.
@@delanceydays okay how many courses you have this semester ? actually I am also a student of nutrition in Indian university
@@Sonalpreet_kaur oh awesome! This spring I'm taking three classes plus a lab!
@@delanceydays oh you are having online classes right? due to covid-19 ?
You inspired me that how you spend your whole day studying. I get distracted easily😅
Just watched your first video randomly and i like it .. .Also watched your make up video And i have now subscribed your channel .....Make a video on your another hobbies.I would like to watch them
what college do you go to?
I go to school on the US West Coast !
I study nutrition in Brazil
So cool. Happy we connected! Thank you for watching!! :)
I want to become a nutritionist. but I don't know what subjects r there in this? can u help me by giving some information plz👀
loved ur vlog it was motivating
Hi Essa! Most subjects are in the sciences. Biology, anatomy and physiology, microbio, organic chem, etc. We also cover counseling, business, assessment skills. It’ll depend on the university! But that’s a general idea.
What salary can I expect after studying dietetics from ubc?
The specific school you study at won't necessarily dictate your salary. It's really going to depend on where you work, the position you take, as well as your level of education. Each state in the US is different due to factors such as cost of living! You can easily google pay ranges in whichever area you plan on working/living in!
if you don't mind sharing, what's your pinterest username?
of course! My account is: www.pinterest.com/delanceypantsss/

@@princesofzainab8063 thank you so much!! :)
Can u teach us nutrition ? Please
This channel isn’t dedicated to nutrition, but I have collaborated with a company to create the podcast show Nutrition Nerd - you can find it on Spotify or in the apple podcast shop! It’s a health and wellness podcast. I discuss basic nutrition concepts over on there if you’re interested!
