Step 2: Determine which foods are healthy and which are unhealthy

We use general nutritional guidelines to classify them:

#### ✔ Healthy Foods (nutrient-dense, low in added sugar/fat, high in vitamins)
- Watermelon – Fruits, hydrating, rich in vitamins
- Grilled meat – Lean protein, healthier cooking method
- Wholemeal bread – Whole grains, fiber-rich
- Steam chicken – Lean protein, steamed (low fat)
- Mustard greens – Leafy green vegetables, high in nutrients
- Steam fish – Healthy source of protein and omega-3s
- Low-fat milk – Good source of calcium and protein
- Tomato – Vegetable, rich in antioxidants like lycopene

✔ So, healthy foods:
1. Watermelon
2. Grilled meat
3. Wholemeal bread
4. Steam chicken
5. Mustard greens
6. Steam fish
7. Low-fat milk
8. Tomato

(We need only 5 for the box, so pick the top 5 most clearly healthy)

Let’s choose:
1. Watermelon
2. Grilled meat
3. Wholemeal bread
4. Steam chicken
5. Mustard greens

(Alternatively, you could include steam fish or tomato — but we’ll go with these.)

#### ✘ Unhealthy Foods (high in sugar, saturated fats, processed)
- Biscuits – Often high in sugar and refined flour
- Fried noodles – High in oil and sodium
- Fried rice – Typically cooked with oil and may contain high sodium
- Coke – Sugary drink, no nutritional value
- Soft drinks – Similar to coke, high in sugar
- Sweets – High in sugar and empty calories
- Half fried eggs – If fried in oil, can be high in fat; however, eggs themselves are nutritious. But "half fried" suggests frying, so it leans toward unhealthy.
- Fried noodles and fried rice are clearly unhealthy due to frying.

So, unhealthy foods:
1. Biscuits
2. Fried noodles
3. Fried rice
4. Coke
5. Soft drinks
6. Sweets
7. Half fried eggs

Choose 5 for the box:
1. Biscuits
2. Fried noodles
3. Fried rice
4. Coke
5. Sweets

Final Answer:

#### Healthy Food
1. Watermelon
2. Grilled meat
3. Wholemeal bread
4. Steam chicken
5. Mustard greens

#### Unhealthy Food
1. Biscuits
2. Fried noodles
3. Fried rice
4. Coke
5. Sweets

> Note: Some foods like half fried eggs and steam fish are borderline, but based on preparation method, half-fried eggs are more likely considered less healthy than boiled or poached, so they could be included in unhealthy. However, since we have five slots, and the above selections are clear, they’re best choices.
