Oh, another thing. Is it a good idea to try to lose weight and build muscle at the same time?

Ugh, left myself open there...

Never mind.

No, it's inefficient. Doing one or the other works a lot more efficiently, especially for building muscle, since a caloric excess is very helpful, which a deficit is needed to lose weight.

It's possible, but don't waste your time.

If you're just starting out, yes you'll lose weight and build muscle at the same time. But don't put yourself on a low cal diet.

Ive been trying to get into some more healthy eating habits too--i'll put my shopping list here and we can compare notes.

weekly, one person:
1qt (1L) 2% or whole milk
1pt (~500mL) half-and-half (bi-weekly)
1/2 gal (2L) orange juice
4lb. (~9kg) chicken (wings, stew meat, legs, breast, cut varies)
1lb. (~2kg )beef (also varies)
1/2 lb. or less pork (generally sliced ham or salami, sometimes skipped)
1 head lettuce
leafy greens (usually spinach)
1-3 cans of greens (like peas or green beans)
1-2 lb (2-5kg) other vegetables, i.e. carrots
1 can sliced mushrooms
2-4 lb. (4-10kg) whole fruits (usually raisins, tangerines, and pears, but varies from week to week)
1/2 dozen eggs (bought bi-weekly)
1lb. (2 kg) organic rolled oats
1lb. (2 kg) long-grain rice
1 box cereal (the non-sugary kind, like corn flakes, also bi-weekly, sometimes skipped entirely)
1 loaf bread (12-grain if on sale, otherwise whole wheat. no bread if i run out of dough. *rimshot*)

this is what i usually get, but it changes if, for instance, theres a sale. (corn in my area just got massively discounted, so i picked up a bunch of it)

looking back over it, it seems like a lot of food, but thats what i eat in a week. *shrug*

1 kg = 2.2 lb

I think you have something mixed up.

i rounded, liberally. the american measures are the most accurate, since that's what's written on my foods' labels. for personal convenience i just doubled the numbers.

... and now that i read your post again, i realize why everything sounded like such a ridiculously large amount of food. just ignore the metric measures, sorry.
