I buy the same things most of the time but I'll switch around certain sauces or seasoning and brands of things from time to time.

I buy things like the following:

skinless chicken breast
steak
burgers (chicken, beef, or salmon)
eggs (usually whole eggs but recently got some liquid egg whites mainly for some recipies I make)
almond milk (sometimes skim milk)
salads - (pre-mixed and I buy one for every work day to bring with me)
protein bars
oats
pancake mix (got organic flax ones this last time, I will make pancakes with them and use for other recipies (protein cakes))
fish oil
Kashi Golean Cereal
cheese
fresh fruit
fat free greek yogurt

I'll get a few other odds and ends sometimes but the above is my usual stuff. I also use protein powders.

Wow..amazing..Your list of foods in fridge, I can imagine myself to cook a healthy meal or preparing sweet healthy dessert.

I find I spend a lot of time in the produce department & usually have a full crisper drawer + some things stashed elsewhere in the fridge. I'll often have several cups of sauteed veggies with 8-10 oz of tofu and 1c of rice or 2 oz of whole wheat pasta (about 1.5 cups cooked).

In general, avoid processed foods, stick to the most natural things you can.
(That being said, yes, one of my fairly frequent dinners is a 50-cal multi-grain tortilla with 2 slices of turkey lunchmeat, a slice of cheese, and some mayo.)

brown rice
ground chicken
chicken breasts
salmon
tofu (I glom onto any I find in the 99c bin, unless it's soft)
Greek yogurt (add fruit, honey, & some dry oatmeal & you have a dinner)
cottage cheese
whole wheat pasta
beans
eggs
whole wheat bread
peanut butter
hummus

I really like the frozen Chinese dumplings (gyoza) that can be pan-fried, served w/ peanut sauce.

my usual breakfast is:
12 oz skim milk + 1 serving Carnation instant breakfast + malted milk powder
1 slice whole wheat bread + 1.5 T peanut butter
1 banana
