Meat Per Person Calculator
How much meat to buy for a meal or party.
How it works
Cooked portion × a yield factor gives the raw weight to buy. Boneless meat has a factor of 1, bone-in about 1.6, and a whole bird or large bone-in roast about 2, because bone and trimming make up a large share of the weight. Add extra when guests are hungry or you want leftovers.
