Magnum had a very colorful diet (read: Junk food) throughout the show heres what I can think of:

Chili Dogs
Old Dusseldorf
Coops
Macho Tacos and Burritos "Grandisimo?"
Whatever they were eating at Luau Louies.
Wine from the wine cellar

Help, I know theres lots more...

Fig Newtons
Jelly beans
Didn't he take a liking to Higgins' caviar???
Pizza (atleast as evidenced by the boxes)
Coffee, bagels (Mac's Back)
EDIT: Ice cream sundae also in Mac's Back!

That's about all I can remember right now!

What about the grocery list he was "working on" at the beginning of Unfinished Business?

Kix
Cheerios
Frozen Waffles
JuJu fruits

Quite a few times there was Chinese takeout sitting around the guest house. Don't forget he loved steak too!

Does TS have a thing for fig newtons? I saw an interview where he was talking about them.

TS and TM both love Fig Newtons.
I think his favorite cookie and he's got to have milk to dip them.
He borrowed a few fig newton's from Burt Reynolds in an episode.
Does anyone know what episode this happened in?
He celebrated one of his marriages eating fig newtons and milk.
I also love fig newtons, something we have in common.

Higgins read part of his grocery list aloud in the beginning of "Unfinished Business," but I don't remember exactly what it was.

The big guy had a Tofu Burger in "Pleasure Principle". Carol wonders why and asks, "Thomas, you hate healthy food".

It's probably safe to say he's never had a salad.

My guess is if he really ate like this the show would have been called Higgins and the Fatman. Nobody eats like that all the time and looks like TS.

I can help narrow it down. Higgins makes artichoke vinaigrette for Magnum and Willie, but Magnum doesn't partake.

"... there is nothing easy about eating artichoke vinaigrette."

Wish I had a body like his eating that stuff.

The Pizza and beer diet

My husband eats vast quantities of food, some good some bad. In fact he eats probably 2-3 times more than I do, and I'm the one with the weight problem! He still weighs the same as he did when we got married in 1973, and can still fit in his military uniforms from the 1960's. Some people are just lucky I guess, when it comes to weight issues!

I always thought it was odd that Magnum's diet was full of so much junk food, considering how often he was in those "Iron Man" contests. Plus, there's his love of tennis, the surf ski, baseball, and swimming in the Estate's tide pool! Must be the "arrested adolescence" again! Of course, if TM *didn't* engage in all of those physical activities (to say nothing of his P.I. adventures!) he'd end up looking like the voice of Robin Masters...

I'll admit to loving the foods that TM eats, especially the chili dogs! I'm 6'2" and 170lbs, so I'm actually underweight, and I'm having chicken wings tomorrow! Anyway, Magnum's deadly diet is one of the many things about MPI that I find so darned comforting! The little things that made the show the jewel of my childhood.
