Nutritionists are like Counsellors. They educate people about the quantity of food, type of food so that they eat better specifically to increase or decrease their body weight. Dieticians on the other hand, take care of patients with medical conditions like diabetes, food allergies, cancer, patients recovering from a car accident about what food and supplements to take to recover faster.
