LEEDuser has updated the Sustainable Food Purchases Tracking Sheet in our Doc Toolkit. (see above)
The spreadsheet now gives weighted (double) credit for purchases that meet more than one sustainability criteria. This matches the credit form and allows teams to more accurately track achievement. It also generates your overall percent achievement by comparing your sustainable purchases to your total purchases (sustainable and non-sustainable) so you can easily see if you're complying with the minimum credit threshold or earning exemplary performance.

Can you get double credit if an item is organic and fair trade, for example?

No. The two credit criteria are 1) some sustainable attribute such as organic, or 2) regional. You can get double credit if you meet both criteria.

Tristan,
I'd love to see the tracking sheet expanded to allow all food items to be entered. The non-sustainable items would have a $0 value in the far right column, but could calculate the total cost of food and percent on a rolling basis. As purchases are made each week or month, they are added to the spreadsheet and it becomes a live tool. Some of the other LU tracking tools work like this and are very helpful.
Thanks!
