Cha, Amanye amadietitian asebenza emakhishini ezinkampani ezinkulu (Foodservice management) i.e. ezibhedlela, emahotela, ema-homes e.tc
Abanye basebenza njengama sales representatives for companies that sell nutrition supplements or substitutes like nestle, resaf, nutricia, uniliver, etc

A private consulting dietitian can do all the above consulting not as an in-house dietitian.
What is The difference between a nutritionist and a dietitian?
Well dietitians do therapeutic diets (disease specific nutrition e.g kidney, heart, severe malnutrition, cancer, GIT disorders, etc) we calculate and make hard decisions on what to feed comatose pts etc, we deal with total parental (IV feeds) and nasogastric tubes) etc. We can do a nutritionist's job but a nutritionist can not be a clinical dietitian.
