Becoming a certified nutritionist
I'm am in the VERY early stages of seeing what it takes to become a certified nutritionist (if that is even a title). I have a BBA from college, so I really don't have any science classes, and would be starting from scratch.
Does anyone have any experience or suggestions in where I could start? I can answer question because I know I am probably not giving enough info.
Thanks in advance.

there are "nutrionists" and as far as I know the only certification you need is calling yourself a Nutritionist. There are programs out there that offer certification classes, kind of like a personal trainer.
Dieticians are the ones that go earn a 4 year degree, and are more marketable when looking for a job.

Thanks for the input. a dietitian is probably more of what I am looking for. How the body works when it comes to diet and exercise is incredible to me and I want to learn more about it. Maybe even take it a step further and help people out with their diets / fitness.
