> Going back to the vegetable example, you could eat several kg of green vegetables every day and continue to lose weight.
This is just not true. Anecdotally I know multiple obese vegans, but that aside at the end of the day it's calories burned vs calories consumed.
Generally speaking 1 lb = 3,500 calories[1]. What you're essentially arguing is that the caloric measurement of vegetables is wrong, that they're over-estimated, and you can secretly eat "kilograms" of extra vegetables and not get fat.
You gain weight from taking in more calories than you burn. You can take in too many calories from vegetables. It all depends on your lifestyle.
