Vegetarians eat calorie-heavy foods like fats, carbs, and protein, just like everyone else.

Arguably easier to eat a large number of calories on a vegetarian diet, than on its polar opposite, ketogenic diet.

It's kind of hard work eating 3500 calories of just meat, eggs and cheese. Whereas that amount of bread, pasta, sweets, and other nominally vegetarian foodstuffs can be easily wolfed down.

Ketogenic diets are high fat. Having plenty of coconut oil, olive oil and butter with everything goes a long way to keeping up the calories and are quite easy to eat.

Sure if you eat pizza, pasta and bread all day.

Didn't think that was up for debate.

Uh, then why would a vegetarian be eating all day to get 3500+ calories?

Because it is true. You will be consuming a lot more food to maintain that level. I never said it is not possible. I don't mean pasta, bread and pizza either. If you took a healthy reasonable amount of clean meat and fish. Compared to a straight vegetarian diet. You will be eating a lot more food. If you do not agree with a meat diet or not that is a fact.
