Would eating a bag of kale a day get me enough nutrience?
How do I into vegetables?

You can't overdose on beta-carotene which is the predominant provitamin A in kale. Any excess beta-carotene that is not needed by the body to be converted into active vitamin A is used as anti-oxidants.

As for the other nutrients, kale lacks the quantities of folate and magnesium compared to other leafy greens like spinach and collard greens; nonetheless, it is still a very good food to be consuming. I would use cronometer to track micronutrients.

if you eat simple "whole/natural" foods. you're fine. if you eat a lot of already prepared stuff it's a pain in the ass and you'll have to enter the food into the database. most of my diet is meat, butter or oil, a vegetable, and rice, oats or pasta, so it works out well for me.

Kale doesn't have any vitamin A, it has beta-carotene

drizzle vegetables with olive oil, salt and pepper. roast in the oven until they're a little burnt looking.
fuck rice with steamed vegetables. pair this with a pan seared chicken breast and you're golden.

if you only get one vegetable a day, make sure it's green, and eat a big fucking plate of it.
broccoli or cabbage are best. boil the broccoli or put it in dishes. cabbage can go in dishes or be eaten raw (but it'll to hard to eat that much raw'.
I dunno about kale but spinach can be made into a smoothie. Blend a bag of spinach, some water and a handful of strawberries first thing in the morning. Just gulp it down, as medicine. Good shit.
Maybe green peas also work? Either add to dish or boil and have a bowl of it on the side for dinner.
Cronometer is best site. Android app which syncs with website account is nice and cheap.
