nihil modice
Or you could substitute 'modeste', 'temperate', or 'moderate' (as Sergey suggests).
'Modice' means literally 'with moderation, in a proper manner', but also 'in an ordinary way'. 'Modeste' means 'moderately, discreetly'. The two are found together in Plautus (Persa, 3.1.18: modice et modeste vitam vivere). 'Temperate' means 'in due proportion, moderately'. 'Continenter' means much the same as 'temperate', but is rare in this sense.
'Nil' is simply a contraction of 'nihil', 'nothing'. Yet another form of this word is 'nihilum', which is itself sometimes contracted into 'nilum'.
