One cup of shredded Romaine lettuce is about 47 grams. Since a head of Romaine is never the same size, it is best to go on weight. So for 200 people you should allow 50g per serving or 1,000 grams or 1 kilogram or 2.2 pounds of Romaine to feed your guest.

It depends how many other things you're serving, and if the Salad is an appetizer, or served as part of the mealAs a rule I use a medium sized head of Romaine per 15 -18 people when it is a bowl on a buffet or dinner table, not as a starter.

Yes, as do all foods, but it's not very dense. There aren't very many calories either, so you'd have to eat quite a bit of romaine lettuce to get a sizeable amount of anything. There's nothing wrong with that in and of itself, but if your typical salad consists of romaine and iceberg lettuce with a smattering of tomatoes and onions, topped with cheese, croutons and dressing, you're going to be eating a "salad" with many times more calories from dressing, cheese and croutons than the vegetables themselves. For the most nutritious salad, avoid the cheese, avoid the croutons, ditch the dressing, and pile on the veggies. Put on spinach instead of lettuce for a more nutritionally dense salad.
This depends upon portion size, the type of lettuce you and how many other ingredients are in the salad. Generally you decide on a recipe and, according to how many portions it will serve, multiply the amount of lettuce per portion by 70.
