Best path to become a nutritionist

Certainly, when I studied biology, it was mandatory to take a few courses in nutrition along the way. Those courses were great, very informative, but I felt they didn't provide me with enough value. Prior to taking those courses, I was already well-versed and interested in nutrition. I knew what was considered healthy and nutritious, and kept up to date with the trends. Because of this, the courses I took only reinforced what I already knew personally, and from what had already been taught in other courses.

I can't imagine what four full years of nutrition would be like. I'd assume it'd get boring real fast. At least with biology, you get to take chemistry, physics, and math courses along the way, and in the process get to see how all those fields all relate to one another. I took over ten math courses during my undergrad as a bio major. Today, I love mathematics even more than I do biology, so much so that I have a masters degree in mathematics! If it weren't for those math courses I took, I probably wouldn't have discovered this hidden passion of mine.


I'd start with a bachelors in biology, then enroll in a postgraduate masters program in nutrition.

Thanks a lot for your answer.

Yes I agree with you, Biology is a swiss knife in terms of science and it gives you tons of things to study,

So I will follow what I initially planned. BSc in Biology and then I will do some master degree.

I am also starting to have an interest in mycology since I found out that fungi have so many benefits in terms of health and can be applied even in medicine.

I will see during the next years which path I will like the most.

Thanks again
