Hi Vishnu,
You can definitely do whatever you want without having to limit yourself or label yourself a certain title. Studying dietetics is a much more "stronger" degree than studying nutrition. A dietitian can easily call himself a nutritionist (because dietetics are all about nutrition and much more!) but sadly, a nutritionist cannot call himself a dietitian
As a Registered Dietitian, you can work in private practice and company but this does not limit you from working with patients in private hospitals and medical centers. You can also visit schools and give lectures about healthy eating and giving presentations and seminars for your community on nutritional issues. You can also work as a personal nutrition coach, visiting clients at their home or workplace, coaching them on healthy eating and their individual needs.
Being a dietitian can be an extremely flexible and fun job.

Hi Vishnu,
To become a dietitian there are many paths that you can choose to reach your goal. There is option of Certificate/Diploma in Nutrition and Dietetics which you may pursue after you graduation. Other than these Certificate/Diploma courses, if you want to do intense study you may choose B.Sc in Food Technology or B.Sc Home Science.
For selection of subjects at school level keeping in view subjects required for above mentioned courses I would recommend choose what you like. But for sake of easing out your confusion let me tell you that students from all stream (Science/Commerce/Humanities) are permitted to enroll in these courses but students from Science background are given preference (colleges provide 3%-5% relaxation). They calculate PCB as well as PCM but few institutes stresses on PCBM. So if you want to increase your chances of your enrollment/ admission you may take biology.
P.S. Not all graduate can go for Diploma/ Certificate in Nutrition and Dietetics, you must have passed B.Sc. Home Science (Pass/Hons.) or B.Sc. Food Technology (Hons.),B.Sc. Microbiology, B.Sc. Biochemistry, B.Sc., Nursing, MBBS.

Hi Amisha,
Dietician will do fat analysis of your body which includes:
1. Fat
2. BMI
3. BMR
4. Body Age and
5. Muscle Mass.
They will decide how much calories you need based on your:
a. Daily Routine
b. Age
c. Sex and
d. Physical Activities.
They will count how much calories you need for your day and how much deficit you will make by working out. That will create a calorie deficit which helps you to lose weight. For healthy weight loss it is important to work out 1 hour every day but for sustainable healthy weight loss, it is more important to keep eye on your remaining 23 hours of your day.
Dietitians are skilled in helping people find ways to make small changes in lifestyle behaviors that can result in long-term weight control success. By exploring individual's food and activity habits, a dietitian can help you identify habits that may be sabotaging your weight control efforts and then work with you to set realistic and attainable goals that will help you cut back on excess calories and burn more calories through activity.
