I consumed +11lbs (5.1kg) of food yesterday for only 2,500kcal

If you have a stomach and appetite that are capable of consuming the 15 to 20 lb you need to eat 3,500 to 4,000 calories of similar foods, you ought to call a research lab

Nuts are healthy to eat, its easy to eat 4000 calories of nuts. Healthy doesn't mean low calories.
In what world does that prove you cant get fat eating "healthy" or "whole" foods?

1) you didnt eat the most calorie dense foods

2) you dont need crazy calories to get fat, just above your burn rate.

What part are you confused about?

2500 kcal is waaaayyy above the TDEE of most people (especially most women - who hover around 1200-1500 TDEE; but even for men, 2000 TDEE is quite common for a regular office worker lifestyle). So most people would get quite fat quite rapidly eating that.
