it consisted of a lot of eating vs it was consisted of a lot of eating

The correct phrase is "it consisted of a lot of eating." The verb "consisted" is used in the past tense to describe the components or elements of something. Adding "was" before "consisted" as in the second phrase is redundant and grammatically incorrect.
