What actually makes a food healthy/unhealthy? Are all processed foods automatically “unhealthy”?

Obviously low-calorie and low-carb are different than “healthy”, but they are much easier to identify when reading a nutritional label. What should someone be looking out for to still eat (relatively) healthy without only eating raw veggies?

I haven‘t seen a single good definition of the term „processed food“, so I don‘t think a statement like „all processed foods are unhealthy“ holds any ground. Cut, cooked and frozen carrots are certainly processed but not unhealthy. In my opinion unhealthy foods are those where the nutrients are way out of balance, and a healthy diet is one that contains the correct foods to form a good balance.
