### In the lessons

In health lessons, a dietitian helps plan meals for people with diabetes, allergies or other conditions, and schools may use dietitians to plan healthy lunches. In everyday life, a dietitian is a qualified expert, unlike some people online who give food advice. Common phrases: «see a dietitian», «hospital dietitian», «registered dietitian».
