This nutrition website gives the content of minerals including magnesium in common foods. It can be very helpful:

It also shows the inflammatory index of various foods.
While I take supplements, they do tend to loosen me too much at times. Since I have started eating black beans and Edamame beans at least once a day, my blood pressure has come way down, even. So it is possible that magnesium from foods is better absorbed than supplements. Although I haven't seen studies to that effect.
I also eat nuts for snacks, rather than chips or pretzels etc. And those have magnesium in them too.
Magnesium is in chlorophyll and so greens are a good source.
I've been putting baby spinach in my sandwiches and also my bean meat mixtures too. More nutrition than lettuce.
