If you eat nothing but 4,000 calories of the healthiest food around, you'll gain weight.
So many studies and bullshit on things that might change those numbers ever so slightly.
It's easy: eat less or exercise more and loose weight.

exactly this.
there are 2 studies - one guy only ate chocolate bars, the other only McDonalds but both stayed below their daily calorie goals and both lost weight
of course carbs, proteins etc also play a role - for example for how long you feel full or whether you need energy for working out.
But basic line it always comes back to intake<usage = weight loss
(there are many fat vegetarians and vegans around)
