My experience with obese people in my family is that the most consistent theme is quantity. If you're eating 1,000 calorie meals and don't work out all the time you're going to be obese no matter what you're eating. Sugar and carbs definitely help pack the calories, but I've seen people eat 1,000 calorie salads.
