German chap, one eating less? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dieter

I believe this is a double definition.

'german chap' is the first definition.
(common German name)

'one eating less?' is the second definition.
(someone on a diet)

(Other definitions for dieter that I've seen before include "German male" , "person who's determined to lose" , "The weight-watcher" , "one trying to lose weight" , "German fellow" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
