From my memory, this is classic. From what I recall of live in the distant past, it was not until a fairly high foraging skill that I kept up with water. (It wasn't until the higher levels that I found it safe to use the good quality stat food & water while remaining full on forage.)
I'm a 22 Ranger with 115 skill on P99 now and only kinda keeping up with it: I do have a few stacks of water in reserve, and sometimes see my foraged water amount steadily decreasing or increasing depending on luck of the forage; I'm almost always full with food.
I believe the foraging chances were fairly evenly split between the basic roots/fruit/berries/rabbit/veggies/water (/grubs?) such that you would always receive significantly more food than water on success.
