<\/a><\/p>\nThese men and women are tasked with the vitally important job of keeping our country healthy and well, something many of us turn a blind eye, too. Dietitians go through extensive training<\/a><\/strong> and achieve a level of expertise that gives them the ability to translate vast nutritional science in to something consumable and understandable for the general public. Their extensive education can often involve multiple degrees and highly coveted internships with major hospitals and universities where practical study gives them an even broader knowledge base.<\/p>\n And the reality of the job isn’t as specific as you might think. Dietitians work one on one with clients (or patients) in a clinical setting, but they also work in schools, health clubs, doctor’s offices and hospitals, in the food industry<\/a><\/strong> for food producers and restaurants, and much more.<\/p>\n You’ll even find them on Twitter disseminating health and nutrition information and working hard to keep Americans healthy 140 characters at a time.<\/p>\n Without further adieu, we introduce our favorite dietitians on Twitter, including our resident nutrition expert Mary Hartley, RD<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n A 16-ounce soda contains the equivalent of 12 packets of sugar. #sodaban<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Mary Hartley RD, MPH (@MaryHartleyRD) March 11, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n Try this for lunch: roll turkey, Swiss and spinach leaves in whole grain wrap. #dontforgetspicymustard<\/a> instagr.am\/p\/WzAYQEGSWp\/<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Joy Bauer (@joybauer) March 13, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n Pls RT – Great Easter Tip -here is a really cool chart to make your own natural egg dyes from veggies – brilliant!cuesa.org\/article\/guide-\u2026<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Chef Cheryl Forberg (@CherylForbergRD) March 12, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n I support limiting ALL portion sizes… RT @jaimewindrow<\/a>: What’s the feeling in NYC about the #sodaban<\/a>?Or the non-sodaban now…<\/p>\n \u2014 Elisa Zied (@elisazied) March 12, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n Did you know?
