They might taste good (I like nicely cooked and seasoned veg) and be cheap... but "filling"? I absolutely do not find veg filling. More filling that something high in high-GI carbs, sure, since you're not going to have a spike and sharp drop in blood glucose levels signalling hunger, but protein and fat are a lot more filling that veg.

A good example is eggs, which are amazingly filling, cheap, quick to cook, versatile, and only around 150 calories each - and I feel full for at least 5 hours after eating just two of them.

If you do some calorie restriction, raw cabbage will probably be filling. I've been doing it for two years and vegetables are very filling under the right conditions.

I think it's worth eating some cruciferous vegetables raw for additional health benefits.
