I know we're all different but just wondered how much QA/bolus would you have for:
meat
roast potatoes 3/4 small
broccoli
cauuliflower
gravy

according to my carbs and cals book it's 25g cho for my usual portion size of potatoes so I would sometimes do 3u QA and sometimes 4u QA on a 1:10 ratio.
 
Well I'd only count the actual carbs in the spuds, so if you are positive they are 25g, on 1u to 10g CHO that makes 3u enough once you add the gravy.

But of course what's your BG before you eat it? because you'll also need to add in a correction for that if it needs it.
