Morphology
The components 'dietary' (relating to diet/food) and 'intake' (amount taken in) combine compositionally to yield the meaning 'types and amounts of food and drink consumed.' This is a straightforward, cross-linguistically common noun phrase formation, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Dietary intake paints a simple picture: dietary means the kinds of food someone chooses and intake is what they take into their body. So dietary intake means the 'types and amounts of food and drink' a person eats.
