Of course, but there's a significant difference between the carb density of broccoli or asparagus and, say, potatoes or rice. Anyway, in a high fat diet things like cruciferous vegetable are often used as a butter delivery mechanism.
Bonus question. You eat a vegetable that has a lot of fiber (say broccoli). Fiber is a carb, but how does your body process it?
Ultimately, I think you can largely boil it down to food processing. The more a food is processed, the worse it is for you.
