The reason I'm asking is, low-carb vs. mainstream nutrition aside, it seems
that vegetables are a much more low calorie way to get whatever nutrients
are available only from plant sources rather than whole grains.

Calories. Try feeding yourself on raw spinach. Tons of nutrients, hardly
any calories. A very modest diet of 1800 calories per day would be 17
lbs of spinach or 3.58 lbs of rice. You choose what you want to stuff
down your pie hole.

Personally I try for a wide variety of foods, vegetables just don't fill
you up for very long (they literally fill you up but dont give you much
usable energy)
