Key Skills
Dietitian Career Context
Of the 50 active Clinical Nutrition listings this role was benchmarked against, 22% are remote, 22% have no call, 72% require no weekends.
In Texas, the Clinical Nutrition weighted monthly median benchmark on WeekdayDoc is ~$76k (58 salary observations; 582 listings), vs ~$78k nationally (1,542 salary observations; 7,569 listings). Monthly aggregates cover 2026-01-01 through 2026-10-01; these are not the modal's selected comparable-job medians.
The cost-of-living index for Texas is 97.1 (US average = 100; BEA Regional Price Parities (2024)), so the posted ~$73k midpoint carries the purchasing power of roughly $75k in an average-cost state. 57.7% of Texas clinicians report burnout symptoms in WeekdayDoc's Burnout Index (2026-01 data).
Location & Logistics
Texas has no state income tax, which can significantly increase take-home pay compared to high-tax states. At the posted ~$73k midpoint, that is roughly $3k–$5k a year versus a typical 4–7% state rate.
