Is it ok to just eat like.. Broccoli? or do other veggies have other stuff that I need? I eat a head of broccoli every 2 days. I just hate variety in my food. I hate cooking as well. if I could drink disgusting shakes all day I would, I guess I'm not much of a food person :X I also never cheat (even though it might be beneficial).

Carrots contain beta-carrotine, which reduces cancer risk and all you need to do is peel them and chop the ends and eat them raw.
Peas are lush and you can buy them frozen they take like 5 minutes boil

Different veggies have different benefits, so i would try to have few different ones. Broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower have anti-estrogen effects. Why not eat them raw? thats what i do.

play the starchy ones ( carrots, corn, peas ) into your macros to absorb all the vitamins/minerals they provide,
broccoli is good i agree i go through maybe 2 heads a day if not more, and i like to get green beans and califlour for variety, im not a big asaparagus fan but they only have these every few weeks at the cafeteria.
Strive for variety the more then better

Even if you like broccoli, wouldn't get sick of eating it day in and day out? Gotta switch it up sometimes.

I don't eat broccoli at all, hate it. I eat spinach, romaine lettuce, green beans, etc. I wish I could stomach broccoli, it's so packed with healthy stuff.

Hating eating and wanting to stick to the same foods over and over would be a miserable life experience for me. Even if you think that are getting all your nutrients and vitamins, I still feel it is somehow less than optimal for your health. I can't explain how scientifically, but it just seem wrong to be so limited. Try to force yourself to eat a little variety, like spinach, green beans or wax beans in addition to the broccoli.
