"Nutritionist" == RD exam => government licensure (required by every state in the US except 4. In AZ, MI,NJ,CO you don't even need the license [1]) However, the RD exam is a mishmash of several ill-specified fields with dubious claims & ad-hoc practices, much of which aren't scientifically verifiable. RD exam: 12% - food and nutrition 40% - nutrition care 10% - counselling 17% - food service 21% - management Its a multiple-choice US-centric exam which most likely any American housewife/househusband/anybody-who-cooks-regularly could pass, if (s)he just showed up on a spare afternoon. There are actual questions[2] like Q. What is the best way to cook a roast? A. Cook it in oven at 325F Q. What gives structure to bread ? A. Egg and Flour Q. Glucose test should be plotted on what graph? A. Line graph. Once you pass the exam and become a government certified nutritionist, you can tell a sick overweight person with authority- "don't eat that egg, it has cholesterol, you will get a heart attack" and people will actually take you seriously because you now have the license! If you have some money to burn, you can purchase 3 random RD exams at eatrightprep[3] for $199 (!), which should "only be used by one person and should not be shared" heh heh heh! The whole space is crying out for disruption. Serious startup opportunities abound. 1. https://www.cdrnet.org/vault/2459/web/files/Licensurelawsregulations.pdf https://www.cdrnet.org/vault/2459/web/files/Licensurelawsreg... 2. http://www.cram.com/flashcards/domain-1-inman-review-questions-193-324-3391867 http://www.cram.com/flashcards/domain-1-inman-review-questio... 3. https://www.eatrightprep.org/rdn-exam https://www.eatrightprep.org/rdn-exam
