Think of it this way - for the calorie price of a tablespoon of olive oil (all fat, nothing nutritious), you can have a huge, ~10 oz salad filled with veggies, fruit, whole grains and legumes. Have a look at PubMed for "low-fat vegan" clinical trials - people are put on plant-based diets with no calorie restriction and end up losing weight.
