Not really knowing what progressive aspect is (I can wager a guess, though... "I
am eating" is it, at least...), I can at least tell you that in French, "I eat"
and "I am eating" (je mange) are the same thing. In my 3+ years of studying
French (and I'm fairly competent in it...), I've never encountered a correctly
French way to express "I am eating" that differentiates itself from "I eat". It
may be confusing, mais c'est la vie.
