Nutritionist Help: I admire for good eating and your desire for good health. Feel good if you have balanced Diet with protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and anti oxidants. Commend youself if you have good health and energy. See a Nutritionist if you are underweight or overweight You have Diabetes, Heart disease or high Cholesterol You do not know which food has how many caories, daily caloric intake.

Nutritionist: A nutritionist, or "registered dietitian" is educated to assist in the treatment of various medical conditions through diet manipulation (macro and micronutrients). They can assist in the treatment of diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and digestive problems, just to name a few. They attend five years of college and often have Master's degrees as well.
