Roast Dinner

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.

Sounds good to me. Possibly depends on how much gravy you have and what is in it. If it has flour, then you may want to account for that too.
