Morphology
The phrase denotes the amount of carbohydrates consumed and is directly derivable from 'carbohydrate' (a nutrient) + 'intake' (amount taken in). This is a straightforward compositional noun–noun phrase found across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily understand it.
Etymology
The phrase carbohydrate intake gives a simple picture: carbohydrates are the body's fuel and intake is how much fuel you put in a tank. So it means the 'amount' of carbohydrates you 'eat'.
