It can be inferred he ate meat. And apparently he had some fish after resurrection.
Luke 24:41-43 (New International Version)
41And while they still did not believe it because of joy and amazement, he asked them, "Do you have anything here to eat?" 42They gave him a piece of broiled fish, 43and he took it and ate it in their presence.

Fish are animals. He condoned eating fish as he gave it to people.
John 6:11
Jesus then took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted. He did the same with the fish.

It also seems He ate lamb as He happily sent off his disciples to kill the Passover lamb for Him.
Mark 14:12
On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, when it was customary to sacrifice the Passover lamb, Jesus' disciples asked him, "Where do you want us to go and make preparations for you to eat the Passover?"

He also basically said it was ok to eat anything, therefore allowing Christians to eat non-Kosher foods like pork, cheeseburgers... :-)
Mark 7:19
For it doesn't go into his heart but into his stomach, and then out of his body." (In saying this, Jesus declared all foods "clean.")

Romans 14:14
As one who is in the Lord Jesus, I am fully convinced that no food is unclean in itself. But if anyone regards something as unclean, then for him it is unclean.

1 Corinthians 10:25-26
25Eat anything sold in the meat market without raising questions of conscience, 26for, "The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it."

I don't know if there is a verse that specifically say's that Jesus ate meat. Paul certainly did. Peter was told by Christ that animals that were previously forbidden to eat were now okay to eat. Jesus ate the passover feast which always included lamb. There is more circumstantial evidence that Jesus was omnivore than the is circumstantial evidence that he was vegetarian.

I guess... they didn't document when he went to the bathroom, but we all assume that Christ went #2. Holy Sh!t. (Sorry... had to say it...)

But... not EVERYTHING is documented and sometimes has to be assumed.

Yes he did. "41 And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat?
42 And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.
43 And he took it, and did eat before them." Luke 24:41-43 KJV

Also check out Mark 14:12,18 and John 21:3,6,8-13
