As each meat item is individual, there is no definite answer to this question, but on average 1kg of meat serves approximately 4 people, depending on the adult to children ratio.

A kilogram is 2.20462 pounds. Years ago I worked in grocery store meat and deli departments. Occasionally a customer would ask for something in grams or fractions of a kilo. I always used 2.2 pounds for a kilo and never had any complaints.

If cooking beef on the bone, a three-rib roast (about 3kg) will serve about seven to eight people. Calculate roughly 400g per person. If cooking beef off the bone, 1kg will serve four and 1.5kg will serve about six, so 200-300g per person.

A question we often get is “How much meat do I need?” The starting rule of thumb is: Boneless Meat: 1/2 lb. per person for adults and 1/4 lb. per person for children.

For a plated meal, you would typically need around 140-170 grams of meat or fish per person. So, for 50 people, you would require approximately 7-8.5 kilograms of the main course. If you're serving a buffet-style meal, you can estimate slightly less, 110-140 grams per person.

A kilogram is 1000g. So 1 kg of meat provides 10 portions, which would feed 10 people. Divide 250 by 10, and you need 25kg of boneless meat. You'll have to allow more if the meat contains bones or if it shrinks a lot during cooking.

Is 1KG of beef enough for 4 people? ›

It depends upon the type of beef and how you prepare it. 1 kg of steak (after trimming) is suitable for 3–4 people depending upon portion size if serving as a steak. 1KG of stewing beef used in a casserole or stew might be suitable for 6–8 people depending upon the proportion of vegetables.

I figure you would serve each person about 100 -150 grams each, keeping in mind that through roasting, beef will get lighter. So for 70 people you would then need a minimum of 10 kilograms.

In other words, if you're cooking for 10 people, you'll want at least five pounds of meat total. For 20 people, plan to purchase 10 or more pounds of meat.

A standard serve is (500–600kJ): 65g cooked lean red meats such as beef, lamb, veal, pork, goat or kangaroo (about 90-100g raw) 80g cooked lean poultry such as chicken or turkey (100g raw) 100g cooked fish fillet (about 115g raw) or one small can of fish.

Allow around 375g beef per person, so for four people, you need a joint around 1.5kg, for six, 2.25kg, for eight, 3kg and for 10, 3.75kg.

Beef, veal, pork, and sheep meat were down in consumption as of 2022. Poultry consumption grew between 2007 and 2022 but will likely stagnate close to the current levels of 30.5 kilograms per person.

If the meat is part of a bigger dish, like pasta or curry, plan for 1/4 to 1/3 pound (four to six ounces) per person. That means you'll want at least 2 1/2 pounds of meat if you're planning to have 10 people over to dinner, and 5 or more pounds of meat if you're cooking for 20 guests.
