Iolaus Is Always Eating

Iolaus enjoys food. A lot. And, in fact, he can be found eating or having finished a meal in several episodes.

Exceptions

The exceptions that break the rule are as follows:

• Iolaus, sick of always eating oats, gives up his breakfast to a hungry Hercules. - 1.13 - Forgery
• Iolaus, astounded by Fish's appetite, gives up his meal to a hungry Fish. - 1.16 - Down and Out in Academy Hills

Young Hercules (Movie Pilot)

While sailing to Korsenia, Iolaus complains about the 'child-sized portions' at dinner.

1.01 - Treasure of Zeus

On their way to Cheiron's Academy, Hercules and Iolaus stop at Kora's Inn to enjoy one last good meal before they have to endure months of Academy food.

1.02 - Between Friends

At Kora's, he and Nysus Gaius can be seen devouring bread, presumably the last remnants of a larger meal.

1.05 - Girl Trouble

After Jason, fed up with the bad food at the Academy, declares a hunger strike, Iolaus (who seems not to have nearly as much of a problem with the food and finishes Jason's for him) comments that, with the harvest festival coming up and with all the food there will be, it's a bad time to go on a hunger strike.

1.14 - No Way Out

In one of the scenes where Iolaus and Jason are planning Lilith's surprise party, they're both snacking on what look like dinner rolls.

1.21 - Lyre, Liar

As Iolaus and Hercules enter the marketplace at the beginning of the episode, Iolaus is eating spanakopita. He continues stuffing his face as he goes to talk to Orpheus (right before the fangirls show up).

1.28 - In Your Dreams

The beginning of this episode has Iolaus and the others lingering around the table after a meal at Kora's.

1.31 - Home for the Holidays

Iolaus, Jason, and Lilith are invited to spend the Feast of Persephone with Hercules and Alcmene (and Capaneus.

1.37 - The Head That Wears The Crown

After being arrested for 'attacking' Jason, Iolaus helps himself to some apparently-really-good stew while Hercules paces around their cell.

1.40 - Iolaus Goes Stag

When his mind is swapped with that of a deer, Iolaus (or, rather, the deer trapped in Iolaus' body) can be seen chomping down on some grass and leaves.
