Healthy vs. Unhealthy Eating is a Grade 4 worksheet that helps students classify common foods and nutrition terms as healthy or unhealthy. Across 15 multiple-choice questions, students identify the worksheet’s classifications for chicken, nuts, pastries, broccoli, fruit, avocado, cookies, flavored yogurt, oats, vegetables, cream cheese, oranges, fat, protein, and saturated fat. The item set includes both individual foods and broader nutrition terms, including a contrast between fat and saturated fat. This free printable worksheet with an answer key is suited to health or nutrition lessons, introductory review, independent practice, or a quick check for understanding. Students select one of two choices for every item, giving teachers a straightforward way to see whether they can recognize the examples and terms emphasized in the worksheet. Use the completed responses to prompt discussion about why some items are classified differently, especially when students encounter less obvious examples such as flavored yogurt, cream cheese, fat, and saturated fat.

This Grade 4 worksheet uses 15 multiple-choice items to have students classify specific foods and nutrition terms as healthy or unhealthy. It builds recognition of the worksheet’s classifications across examples such as broccoli, cookies, flavored yogurt, protein, fat, and saturated fat, including the distinction between fat and saturated fat.
Introduce the two response categories before students complete the 15 multiple-choice items, then ask them to explain their choices using examples from the worksheet. Review the items in groups—such as fruits and vegetables, snack foods, and nutrition terms—and use less obvious entries like flavored yogurt, cream cheese, fat, and saturated fat to prompt discussion.
Students may reverse the two choices when the option order changes from one question to the next, so check that they read both labels before answering. Watch especially for confusion between similar or less obvious entries, such as classifying flavored yogurt as healthy, treating cream cheese like a general dairy category, or overlooking that the worksheet classifies fat and saturated fat differently.
Wayground provides this worksheet as a printable PDF and as a digital quiz, and it includes a complete answer key for all 15 multiple-choice questions. You can grade printable submissions by scanning student work with the Wayground for Teachers app, or review responses from the digital quiz.
Use the worksheet’s Advanced Settings to adjust font spacing or font size so the two answer choices and food terms are easier to follow. You can also enable a dyslexia-friendly font or translate the worksheet into another language when that better supports students completing the multiple-choice items.
