The main difference between a nutritionist and a dietitian is the level of regulation and professional designation.

In some countries, a person can self-title as a nutritionist without a legal definition, including the United States, Canada, and Australia.
In many countries, the title 'nutritionist' has a regulatory status, meaning it is not legally protected or defined.

The term 'nutritionist' can refer to a range of individuals, including those with a degree in nutrition, those with a certification in nutrition, or those with no formal education or training in nutrition.
