Meaning of 細い in 彼女は食が細い


> 彼女は食【しょく】が細い【ほそい】。  
>  _She eats very little._

Does 細い have that meaning in that context?




If you search in the dictionary for a meaning of 細い that fits, you probably
will not find any. 食が細い is an expression. And if you search for it in a
dictionary like jisho as a whole, you will get the definition :

> eating only a little; having a small appetite

As a side note, 細い{こまい}, can mean stingy, so it might be funny to imagine
someone being stingy with their food.

But your interpretation was the correct one.
