John asks…
How much do you feel should be charged for a dietitian consult?
Starting a business and I need to know how much my dietitians should charge our clients. I have heard as much as $80/hour but that seems a little high even for Chicago. Also what would you expect to get out of a single session?

I could understand your plight if you were referring to nutritionists. A dietician is taught to prepare meal planning.. Not necessarily nutritionally based.
Depending on the type of business you are planning, I would suggest you have a nutritionist to oversee your dietitians. To advise them of proper nutritional meals.
Sandra asks…
Any good information on becoming a dietitian?
I’m a junior in high school and starting to get serious about my future. I am pretty certain I want to become a dietitian. Mainly for people trying to lose weight or girls recovering from eating disorders. Helping people eating healthier to make them healthier. If you have any good sites with information on going into that profession or good colleges that provide that major (preferably one with a Christian background) that would be appreciated. Thank you! 🙂

Search for 4-year schools that offer Dietetics as a major. After graduating with a degree, then you take a national board exam to become a Registered Dietitian. (RD)
Students interested in becoming a Registered Dietitian should consult the American Dietetic Association (ADA) for specific information: The American Dietetic Association.

Graduates in the Dietetics major will require further training by applying to an ADA-accredited internship program in order to complete ADA requirements to be a registered dietitian (R.D.).
Here is one university that meets your requirements:

————————————————-
If you are looking to work with Eating Disorders, consider a minor in psychology. Dietitians don’t always work with eating disorders directly because it’s a mental/psychological issue that must be overcome first.
Speak with your counselor. It is their job to help you in this area, searching for the type of schools you want that offer what you are looking for.
Here is more information from the US Dept of Labor with statistics on what the average Dietitian does and what is required.

Good Luck! It is a great field!
Michael asks…
What happens during a first dietitian appointment?
What happens during a first dietitian appointment? I need to know if there is any cause for the dietician to touch the client in any way. Or if it is just a discussion.
Touching would be a problem.
Does anyone have a real, and thoughtful answer?
Please don’t give me BS links or smartass answers. I am asking a question I’d like an answer to. TY
