Writer's point regularly belies little for the consumer (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nibble

'little for the consumer' is the definition.
(a little bit of food to be consumed)

'writer's point regularly belies' is the wordplay.
'writer's point' becomes 'nib' (nib of a pen, something which writes).
'regularly' means one should take alternating letters (regularly take one letter, leave next etc.).
The alternating letters of 'belies' are 'ble'.
'nib'+'ble'='NIBBLE'

(Other definitions for nibble that I've seen before include "Take small bites of" , "Bite gently and eat a little at a time" , "Take tiny bites" , "Eat with small dainty bites, like mouse" , "express tentative interest" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
