Answers:
The main purpose of vegetables is getting carbohydrates and micronutrients (vitamins/minerals)!. Vegetables are low-calorie, which is why they are a good source of carbohydrates for someone looking to lose weight, and vitamins are better utilized when taken from real foods than from a vitamin supplement!. Truthfully, they're overestimated as a health food, the bigger focus should be on macronutrients!.
Many believe you can never have too many fruits and vegetables, which is wrong, fruits are sugary, yes, natural sugar, but too much is still not good for you!. And sometimes, people who believe you shouldn't eat at night, which is a myth in the first place, will say, if you need to have something, have vegetables and fruits, they're healthy!. Wrong, that is the one thing you are actually supposed to avoid at night: carbohydrates!.
Edit 1:
Randy - Yes, vegetables are nutritious, I just think they're overrated!.
Joe - To your other question, I'm not sure about the causes of vomiting after running, but you don't have to worry about going into a nitrogen balance!. As long as you are getting sufficient protein every 3 hours you're fine!.
Edit 2:
Ok, about the other question, if a food has casein protein that has nothing to do with whether or not it can cause an insulin spike!. If the food is both a source of casein and high GI carbohydrates the carbs will raise blood sugar quickly and there will be an insulin spike!. Again, don't assume that simple carbohydrates are necessarily high GI!.
Edit 3:
Ok, only fat affects protein's digestion rate, not carbohydrates!. The fat will help hold your body in a positive nitrogen balance, in addition to the casein for longer than 7 hours!.
Fat slows down the digestion rate of protein, and yes, fats and protein have separate digestion rates, but the fat itself still has an effect on the protein's digestion rate!.
Carbohydrates are another story!. If there is an insulin spike that doesn't affect the protein's digestion rate, I haven't heard of that happening anyway, I'll research that if I have time!.

Dude green beans aren't like super great!. Yea, they are great alternative to like bread or something, but not the most nutritious veggies!. Some really good veggies that I like to steam in those little microwave steam bags are like broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, baby carrots!. These are some really nutritious veggies!. Broccoli and cauliflower actually have some good protein in them!. And btw it's much different getting the vitamins and minerals from the food sources!. You should take the multivitamin and eat plenty of veggies!.
Edit 1: Yamster, veggies are very nutritious!. You just have to pick out the right ones!. Not all are created equal lol!. Corn, for example, wouldn't be all that good cause it turns to sugar!. Potatoes are pretty good as well, loaded with potassium!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
