1. I eat (some) walnuts every day.
2. I eat walnuts every day.
3. You should eat (some) honey for breakfast.
4. You should eat honey for breakfast.

No difference in meaning; some is more natural and offers a vague intimation of quantity.

They are all OK with or without some, except for this one-- Usually he wears jeans-- which sounds odd with some for some reason.
