Science Scope

Hi Chaahat,
A nutritionist's usual jobs include conducting research on the composition and nutritive values of various diets and meals and feeding programmes, conducting nutrition surveys and other food programmes. He evaluates food for nutrition and formulates balanced diet for people of different age, physical conditions and strengths. It is his duty to plan organize and conduct nutrition programmes, which promote health and control diseases that are caused by nutritional deficiency.
To plan or prepare diets that is appetizing and suitable for consumption by patients suffering from various diseases; to render advise on planning nutritious diets which is within affordable limits, how to change food habits, and how to improve health through diet are some of the important functions of a dietician.
You can pursue a diploma or a B Sc in Nutrition/ Dietetics, followed by a Masters or advanced diploma. These courses are available all across the country in both regular and part time mode but there are very few options as far as part time study is concerned. For a diploma/ degree in Mumbai you can approach (I) University of Mumbai (www.mu.ac.in) or (ii) SNDT Women's University (www.sndt.edu).
Hope it helps. Please feel free to revert.
Wish you luck.
