eat healthy

Choose nutritious foods

To eat healthy is to maintain a diet that promotes physical well-being—choosing nutritious foods, limiting processed ones, and balancing portions.

The phrase uses healthy as an adverb where traditional grammar would prefer healthily, but eat healthy has become standard in everyday speech: I'm trying to eat healthy this year.

Often appears as a general resolution rather than a specific plan.
