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*
