Iago is telling Othello to beware of his jealousy (the green-eyed monster) because it messes with your mind (your imagination being the "meat" that feeds jealously until it ruins the jealous man). As it does in Othello.
Literally, the image is of someone who is gobbling down food while complaining bitterly about it. In the same way jealousy takes your love and makes you hate the object of your love by fanning suspicions of wrongdoing.

What does it mean to turn green with envy?
This phrase means to be jealous. The origin of the phrase is supposedly; 'Green' and 'pale' were different meanings of the same Greek word. In the seventh century B.C., the poetess Sappho, used the word 'green' to describe the complexion of a stricken lover. The Greeks believed that jealousy was accompanied by an overproduction of bile, giving a pallid green appearance to the victim. Ovid, Chaucer, and Shakespeare did the same, freely using 'green' to denote jealousy or envy. Maybe the most famous use is Iago's speech in Act 3 of Othello: O! beware my lord, of Jealousy; It is the green-ey'd monster which doth mock The meat it feeds on.
How can you find out if your boyfriend is talking to another girl when you caught him on the phone with a girl about 2 months ago?
And yet apparently you have not caught him since, so he is either behaving, or has learned to conceal such things better. Does he frequently not answer his phone when you call? That might mean he is talking to "her". When he does answer, is he abrupt, and needing to hang up fast? That might mean he has "her" on the other line waiting. When his phone rings, does he not answer it? That might mean he knows it is "her" and doesn't want you upset. When he answers his phone, does he claim it's a wrong number a lot? That might mean it's "her". Does he like to go into another room when his phone rings, or when making a supposed business call? That might mean it's "her". However, having said all that, there is a quote from Othello that you might find relevant: "Oh beware, my Lord, of jealousy! 'Tis the green-eyed monster that doth mock the meat it feeds upon!"
