Healthily is an adverb, which is what you want.
Thank you. I asked because I found so many "I eat healthy" on Google but, we all know, Google hosts so many cowboys.
Although TT is absolutely correct, most AE speakers, even those of us who hang out in upscale, intellectual health-food coöps, would say "I eat healthy." At this point it is still an "acceptable error" (of which there are a great many in AE).
