What does a nutrition writer do?

Nutrition writers create written content focusing on health and food. They may work for print or digital magazines, websites or blogs, or they may produce informational pamphlets and documents for health care organizations or schools. As a nutrition writer, you explain to readers how to make positive changes in their eating habits, how to make better food choices, and educate them on health problems that may arise from eating poorly. Your job duties may require you to research a specific food, nutrient, or short- and long-term effects of different eating lifestyles. Nutrition writers may be on staff, or they may be independent contractors hired to write on certain topics.
