One of the major job duties of a WIC nutritionist is to assess the nutritional needs of an entire family. This requires knowledge of both adult and child nutrition standards. WIC nutritionists will conduct a client intake, determine current diet and compare that against the ideal nutritional requirements for all family members. After assessing their needs, along with their deficiencies and excesses, the nutritionist will often make a plan to improve their regimen.
