Both are correct. In general, the present continuous form ' I am eating . . ' is used for stating an event occurring now, at the time of speaking or writing, while the simple present ' I eat . . ' is for a general habit, over a longer period of time.

You could say, for example, ' These days I eat a lot of vegetables but I am not eating any vegetables today'.
