An expert on food, nutrition, and its effects on health is referred to as a nutritionist. Some people choose to specialise in certain fields, including animal nutrition, public health, or sports nutrition, among others. 

Contrary to a dietitian, who has a university degree, professional license, and certification for professional practice, a person can claim to be a nutritionist in many countries even if they have no training, education, or license.

Around 150,000 employment for dietitians and nutritionists were available in India in 2011. More than half of all dietitians and nutritionists worked at medical facilities like clinics, hospitals, and nursing homes. A few famous Nutritionists from India whom you can follow for diet tips are Gaurav Nagpal, Supriya Katiyar, Ambika Dutt, and Deepali Ogale.

To assist nutritionists, dietitians, and food technologists in India, a number of professional associations are accessible, including the Indian Dietetic Association, Food Scientists and Nutritionists Association India, Nutrition Society of India, and IAPEN.

The average yearly income for nutritionists in India is 3.1 Lakhs, with salaries ranging from 1.1 Lakhs to 5.5 Lakhs. Estimates of salary are based on 653 payments from nutritionists.
