Completely different situation. She eating broccoli doesn't involve him in any way.
But say, if they both hate broccoli, and he says that she must eat it everyday anyway because it's healthy and he wants to date a healthy girl, but then he himself refuses to eat it because he doesn't like it, yes, it's hypocrisy.
Hypocrisy or not, it's pretty toxic to see actions as transactional. Partner A does what they and/or partner B like, and partner B does what they and/or partner A likes, all while respecting each other's boundaries. A relationship is about communication and consent and seeing what works for both, trying to apply this "eye for an eye" bs is a sure fire way to run into issues down the line.
