It's impossible to know where you will be in 5 years, but do assure the interviewer that, given all possible circumstances, you could see yourself as a long-term fit for their position.
Now is not the time to be clever and tell the interviewer that you plan on being in their position in 5 years. Too soon, my friend. What you will want to tell the interviewer is that you would like to move up the ladder. Is there another department that interests you but you know you need the experience to get there? Would you want to teach more nutrition classes to audiences? Would you like to work more within the medical nutrition therapy field? Are you hoping to finish your master's degree?
