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.

Since when is low-calorie the measure of anything?

Well it is a measure of the heat value of food.

Only for people trying to lose weight because they have a long history
of abusing their bodies.

Or people not trying to gain weight, which Americans have a problem with.

I suppose one could survive awhile, by eating spinach like Popeye.

Of course, if you are planning to live a long life. Then I would
suggest eating real foods which of course would include whole grains.

So your contention is that whole grains will make you live a long life? What
is your proof?
