Vegetable is a culinary term and is very ambiguous. Fruit can be both culinary or scientific. The scientific definition refers to flesh surrounding the seeds.
As a rule of thumb, things that fall under the scientific definition of fruit or grain are high in sugar. (Apples, corn, rice) Nuts are an exception to this rule. Avocado is too, I think. I forget where berries land.
Plants store energy in their roots and tubers. So if was underground, it is high in carbs. (Potatoes, carrots, radish)
Generally, leaves and stems are all fiber and are safe. (Broccoli, celery, cabbage)
I always just use table salt in my water, just a pinch though. I usually add it to every other bottle when I'm drinking a lot of water. I really reccomend lemon juice if you are craving fruits, a very small amount of lemon can give you adequate flavor, you get more bang for your calories.
