There are several words for food in Arabic. These wordings match up with French words for food, so the French words will be included to clarify the meaning.

The most common way to say food is Akl (أكل) and will be used that way in ordinary conversation. (nourriture)

The word for "food" in the sense of a cuisine or a meal is Ta3aam (طعام) and will be used either to designate a dish, entrée, or a cooking style. (cuisine OR repas)

The word for "food" in a clinical sense of "the thing with nutrients in it" as a dietician would say is Mowaad Ghadaa'iyya (مواد غذائية) - literally "materials of nutrition". (alimentation)
