MyDietitian.com was created by medical professionals and nutritionists to align people with Registered Dietitians and track their nutrition, privately and conveniently. We utilize Smartphone applications so users can simplistically record their diet each day and have it automatically uploaded to their profile. Each user is assigned their personal Registered Dietitian to have their diet and activity tracked 7 days per week. User's receive personal feedback that they can track, graph and better understand for long term change. The user's assigned Registered Dietitian will provide a daily summary of your entire recorded diet and provide ratings for important categories like sugar, unhealthy fats, fruits/vegetables, sodium, quality and quantity so members can track progress. Recommendations provided by the Registered Dietitian will be based on the user's specific goals and objectives. My Dietitian is the first organization to provide users with their personal Registered Dietitian, 7 days per week, at a cost-efficient rate. This is a private, personal relationship between a user and their assigned Registered Dietitian to help meet nutritional and dietary objectives.
