Zusammenfassung: | The profession of nutritionist is embedded in the logic of State policies, which involves a set of economic, social and political interests. There has been significant expansion in these undergraduate courses in the country, mainly in private education institutions. The university system was incorporated by the global capitalist market economy; thus, Food and Nutrition has been developed as scientific field in this scenario. The aim of the present study is to address the expansion of Nutrition undergraduate courses in the current scenario of higher education institutions, as well as to analyze its impacts on nutritionist formation. An analytical and critical research was developed based on documentary analysis in order to identify elements of a symbolic game that covers this journey, as well as to guide the analysis process. Results suggested the accelerated expansion of for-profit higher education institutions in Brazil, which had impact on the Food and Nutrition field, both on the expansion of Nutrition undergraduate courses and on the professional education model adopted to meet economic interests. Keywords: Nutritionists. Formation. Education. University. A profissao de nutricionista esta inserida na logica das politicas de Estado, que envolve um jogo de interesses economicos, sociais e politicos. Uma grande expansao nos cursos de graduacao tem sido observada no pais, principalmente nas instituicoes de ensino privado. O sistema universitario foi incorporado pela economia de mercado capitalista global, e a Alimentacao e Nutricao, como campo cientifico, vem se desenvolvendo nesse cenario. O presente ensaio tem por objetivo discutir a expansao dos cursos de graduacao em Nutricao no momento atual das instituicoes de ensino superior e seus impactos sobre a formacao do nutricionista. Uma pesquisa analitica e critica foi desenvolvida a partir de analise documental, identificando elementos de um jogo simbolico que perpassa essa trajetoria, orientando o processo de analise. Verificamos acelerada expansao das instituicoes de ensino superior com fins lucrativos no Brasil, que apresentou impactos no campo da Alimentacao e Nutricao, tanto na expansao dos cursos de graduacao em Nutricao quanto no modelo de ensino profissionalizante adotado voltado a atender aos interesses economicos.
