I am trying to find out some information regarding this profession. They offer this program at a community college near me and I quite don’t understand everything about it. I thought becoming a dietician assistant/nutritional assistant dealt with mainly coaching people about the choices they make regarding the foods they eat, and explaining to them about ingredients in foods they eat as well? I did not think that this profession dealt with preparing and cooking foods like a dietary aide would do in a hospital or nursing home? I thought this job was about coaching and giving choices to people who want to change the way they eat or live their life, and living a healthier lifestyle? Can anyone help me with them one before I make a decision to go through with this? Thank you for all who try to help me with this.

The diabetic doesnt get served sweets etc it requires greater training and state licensingtesting.
The licensed dietitian that does the correct food to the right person make sure the technician does meal planning and coaching it is the dirty work serving the correct food to the diabetic doesnt get served sweets.
