Morphology
low-fat + diet
The meaning is directly compositional: 'low-fat' (containing little fat) modifies 'diet' (a way of eating), yielding 'a diet low in fat.' This adjective–noun pattern is common cross-linguistically and follows ordinary semantic composition, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
Low-fat diet is a name that comes from a simple food picture: a plate with very little butter or oil, so the amount of fat is low. That's why the phrase means 'a way of eating with little fat'.
