I’ve been super hungry and today was super stressful.. but I didn’t want to turn to anything fattening, so I just polished off an entire big bag of broccoli florets. Will this cause me to bloat or gain weight? Or should it just go right through me?

Might give you gas.
You'd benefit from better coping strategies and a better relationship with food. Are you having any Cognitive Behavioral Therapy?13 -
Given the other replies I'll suggest you follow their advice.3

You won't gain weight!4

I’d sit back, think about what caused the high stress of today and journal other options (other than eating), to help minimize and bring the anxiety down.
*cardio (I like this due to learning to catch a groove, having to get your breathing just right)
* take deep breathes in and out, count to ten.
* Soak in a bath
* Take a walk
* Listen to music
* Journal
* Download and insight timer app on your phone, listen to meditation relaxation exercises.
* Read
*call a friend
*gain a hobby

I doubt anything will happen long term from a bunch of broccoli.
Did you log it? Did you eat 3,500 calories over your maintenance calories?
Did you dump salt or butter all over your broccoli?
Were you super hungry because you have been very restrictive or eating too low calorie lately?
Maybe work on your coping tools instead of using food for stress management in future.

OP, I'm afraid you are continuing to post hoping you will get ideas from posters who aren't aware of your history. This is a dangerous game. Please listen to your dietitian, take a break from MFP, and get back in touch with a therapist that specializes in EDs.20

I just got my period a few minutes ago which shows I’m fine. My anxiety is just really bad right now
Getting your period has nothing to do with your frame of mind. The fact that you stress ate an entire bag of broccoli and are mentally tallying calories and describing yourself as anxious is far more important.
Seriously, I don't actually know you and I am probably going to have trouble falling asleep tonite worrying about you. Eating disorders are about how you think, not whether or not you are thin or still capable of menstruating. You need to take this seriously and talk to professional.17 -

Dammit there’s 100 calories in all that broccoli
guess I really need to burn all that off at the gym today. I’ll go an extra 15 minutes on the treadmill (so an hour instead of 45 minutes)
Are you asking for advice, or just trolling the people trying to help you? It seems you are continuously posting new threads that show an escalating pattern of disordered behavior, and ignoring any advice to work with your dietician. What are you really looking for here?14
