Daily activities in the nutrition field vary quite a bit and that all depends on your area of expertise and where you work. There are really about 4 main categories of nutritionists: Clinical Nutritionists, Community Nutritionist, Management, and Consulting Nutritionists. and these Nutritionists work in Hospitals, Community clinics, Schools, Hotels or resorts, government agencies, sport clinics. and the list goes on and on.

Good traits of a nutritionist are enjoying what you do first off. If you feel personally rewarded by helping others you are on the right track. You want to be well informed on nutrition and be confident and reassuring. You will need good people skills because you might be working one on one with a patient.

To get the knowledge you need to be a well informed up to date nutritionist or dietitian you will need good schooling. You might want to start with a degree in nutritional science. There are many schools that offer this degree. There are also online schools that offer this degree such as Kaplan College. That is where i got my bachelors in Nutrition Science and really helped launch my career.

If you do decide to further your career and become a registered dietitian you will need to follow the ADA requirements to get this title.
A nutritionist advises a person on the nutritional value of foods which allows them to make better choices of food.
