low fat
Reduced lipid content
Low fat describes food products with reduced fat content, typically meeting regulatory standards for the label.
The term implies healthiness but can be misleading—manufacturers often compensate with added sugar: I switched to low-fat yogurt, but it has more calories than the regular kind.
Also spelled low-fat.
