CASA GRANDE, Ariz.—Jackie Huston knew she wanted to be a registered dietician when she was in high school.

“I didn’t even know what a registered dietician was,” she said, “but as soon as I learned about it from a counselor, I knew: ‘Yeah, I want to do that.’”

Her mother had been a good cook and a registered nurse, Huston said. “But the food, the nutrition always interested me more than nursing.”
