Eat more of soups, fruits and vegetables, and hot cereals. The high-water content in these foods adds weight and volume without increasing your calorie intake. Fruits and vegetables that also contain a high water content include:
Lettuce: 96% water
Celery: 95% water
Zucchini: 95% water
Cabbage: 92% water
Watermelon: 91% water
Cantaloupe: 90% water
Honeydew melon: 90% water
