Light food = Low-fat food It's not a "taste", it refers to calories provided by the food. *greasy describes a kind of fluid behavior, not a food --- in this case you should use >> FAT >> Fat food --vs-- Light food PS A synonym of "Light" (adjective!!) also used almost just for food is "Lite", and it is also used for low-feature/ simple versions of some software: - [a beverage] Lite = low-calories beverage - [a software] Lite = demo version, free version, easy version of the software ok?

Opposite of heavy.

@Vanessa Thank you :D The original sentence was like "This meat is so light and refreshing". I guess your example fits in that.

I do not tend to say something tastes light so I think you mean the type of food? If I am not very hungry because I have eaten a big breakfast, for example, I would say I would like something light to eat which would mean something small but healthy. Hopefully I interpreted your question correctly.
