No, that's the current problem. Growing up my parents believed that a vegetarian diet of 80% vegetables was healthy. While I probably got all the micro nutrients I could not physically fit the needed amount of calories in the form of vegetables into my stomach.

    how exactly did you struggle with getting calories from vegetables? did you literally just eat lettuce?
    Even just carrots have a perfectly reasonable amount of calories, and vegetables are notoriously easy to digest, so the idea of not being able to physically fit more seems wholly made up.
