I don't usually eat vs I usually don't eat

Both phrases are correct, but they express slightly different meanings. 'I don't usually eat' implies that the person doesn't eat regularly, while 'I usually don't eat' suggests the person tends not to eat in general. The choice between the two phrases depends on the specific emphasis the speaker wants to convey.
