Why you should look for a Registered Dietitian

Registered Dietitians are food and nutrition specialists.
Registered Dietitians have completed a university degree in food and nutrition, as well as an internship or other program of supervised practical education.
People trained in other disciplines or courses often recommend foods or supplements. There seems to be a perception that everyone eats so everyone knows about food and nutrition. (Perhaps this explains why there are many myths about the food and nutrient needs of athletes). Many job titles include the word "nutrition" or "food". Ask if the person filling the job or giving the recommendation is a Registered Dietitian.
Registered Dietitian is a protected title in all parts of Canada. A person must meet a number of educational and training standards before they are allowed to use this professional designation. Many other titles are not protected. Individuals who have no food or nutrition training can use titles such as nutrition specialist and nutritional advisor.
Each Canadian Sport Centre has identified Nutrition Service Providers. Service Providers are Health Professionals who have expertise about sport. If you need help to plan your food and fluid intake, please contact the Athlete Services Coordinator at the Canadian Sport Centre for a referral to the Registered Dietitian in your area.

The Registered Dietitian and Service Provider who is a SNAC member at each of the Canadian Sport Centres are:
