A diet lacking in micronutrients even if high in protein wouldn't build the standard of muscle growth and development as a well balanced diet of micronutrients and macronutrients (carbs, protein,fat and fibre) could build. It seems you can only gain better results from.including these into your diet, and as you can't store these, with thr exception of fat soluble nutrients your body will just disregard what it doesn't need. Plus these are normally high in fibre so you may benefit from pooping easier.
I'm sure stem could give you a better and more accurate reason why micronutrients are important, and correct any points where I may be off, or just plain wrong.
As mockery pointed out, you can supplement with green powder so your getting all the goodness with none of the eating large amounts of extra food.
