    Healthily. The word is “healthily”.

    “Healthily” is an adverb, which modifies the verb “eating”. “Healthy” is an adjective, which just leaves the reader asking “eating healthy what?”.

    This has been your daily grammar fact. Cheers!

      Merriam-Webster says healthy is also an adverb and even gives “eating healthy” as an example

        I didn’t know about this, so thank you! To raise more awareness I feel like we should rebrand “flat adverb” to “flatverb” or “fladverb”. This would sure be an improvement over the current brand.
