Best Answer

That this particualr food has less than average of something that is usually seen as "bad" for us.

Light beer for instance will usually have less alcohol on it, or less calories in it or both.

Light on food and snacks usually mean that there's less calories. Either by that food having less sugar, or less fat or both.
