There is no right or wrong, it's just what we need. A lot of us even use a different ratio for morning versus night.I too will wait to eat almost always until I have a normal or lower level of BG. it always seems like a lot harder to try to lower a high BG number than to stop it in the first place from occurring. I always try to prebolus for my meals and if it's something high fat I will take part of my dose either a half hour to an hour after I eat. Some people even take doses hours after they eat something like pizza.But any carb counting guide can only tell you an average for a certain portion size. Portions/sizes can vary all the time and changes in recipes can vary, so it can be a guessing game.There is a vegan meatloaf I get at a restaurant and it's made of lentils, veggies and quinoa and has a vegan gravy with it.  And because it's not a chain the portion really varies with different chefs.  It's delicious BTW,  but a nightmare trying to figure out dosing.</blockquote>
