foods with little nutritional value
I don't think there is a specific word for this in English, so you'll probably need to say "foods with little nutritional value" or something similar.

Tony M
: There are many foods with little nutritional value — but this misses out the key point of the source term, the aspect of 'bulk'.

Bulky food
http://health.ninemsn.com.au/healthnews/8535800/10-easy-ways...
"Also, opt for ‘bulky’ foods which will fill up the stomach without you taking in a lot of calories."
http://www.fitday.com/fitness-articles/nutrition/healthy-eat...
"Fiber is a relatively "bulky" food, meaning that it takes up a lot of room in your stomach."

Not to be confused with nutrient-dense food, which isn't necessarily low in calories.

: Although I always feel a little uncomfortable using 'bulky'; I think I'd prefer 'foods that provide bulk', or words to that effect.

roughage
like Ballaststoffe in German (literally, lest), just another way of saying high-fiber foods, and "bulky foods" is another good way! Anyhow, that is just another idea, if it "sounds good" in the context.

High-fibre foods
Suggestion
--------------------------------------------------
Note added at 11 hrs (2014-01-25 12:54:21 GMT)
--------------------------------------------------
Fibre (or fiber) is another word for roughage or bulk. I would describe foods such as cucumber and lettuce as high-fiber rather than bulky.

high-volume foods
"Fresh fruits and vegetables that contain a relatively high amount of water and fiber while providing relatively few calories are known as high-volume foods. These foods rank as some of the most satiating, largely because water is filling and fiber helps regulate digestion."
