I don't know a lot of people eating broccoli for fun.

Buy frozen vegatables, warm it up, add some meat and eat it.

If you have a day off, cut some fresh vegetables and make a decent meal.

Brocolli's up there, particularly if you count the anti-estrogenic properties.  Black beans probably beat out brocolli as a fiber source because of the added protein benefit.  Both provide the additional benefit of containing significant anti-oxidents.

Don't get me wrong.  I'm a big brocolli advocate (I eat a bag of frozen brocolli per night).  The only problem is that a whole bag gives you 10g of fiber.  Good to be suresure.  But when you're trying to hit that 40-50 range, it only helps so much.  Here are two other fiber sources which help you reach the target.  One is whole wheat tortillas fgrom LaTortilla Factory which have 14g of fiber per serving.  The other is Fiber One cereal which has 14g per half cup (try blending with protein powder). 

In sum, in the same way it's smart to get your protein from a variety of sources, it's also smart to get your fiber from a variety of sources.  Each has its own unque nutrients which provide additional benefits along the way.

I use it at almost every meal because it is easy to cook.  I'll change it up and do green beans from time to time.  If I want to do something different, I'll do asparagus, but not fond of it.
