Make it into pasta and eat with tomato based sauce, it is TRIVIAL for most people to gain a bunch of weight doing that. Don't even need sugar or oils.
Whole fruit and veggies though, I agree with you. They have so much water and fiber in them, that you'd have to hurt yourself to eat over energy balance on them.

Actually, no. Intact whole grains have the same profile as beans, or a little better. Intact grains like brown rice, millet, quinoa = 500, beans ~ 600 cal/lb. 
Cooked whole grains also contain plenty of water, they absorb the water they are cooking in. So you can still eat decent amounts of grains and not gain weight. There are populations all over the world eating starchy veggies like potatoes, yams, and grains and don't have the degenerative diseases we have. Or the weight problems.
