So this is basic math and deduction that I used to come up with this answer. The average person eats 4 pounds of food per day according to Google. Divide that by 3 meals to get 1.34 pounds per meal. Multiply 1.34 by 100 people and you get 134 pounds of carnitas for 100 people for 1 meal If your only serving carnitas. If your serving with side dishes then divide 134 by number of side dishes to get a somewhat better ball park number
An 18-pound turkey will feed quite a few people. 18 pounds should feed about 12 people, with other side dishes being served.
Somewhere between 44 and 88 pounds depending on the portion size you're aiming for. How many side dishes do you have to go with it?
180 For 40 people
As a guide allow 4 ounces of potato salad per person.Therefore 3 pounds of potato salad (48oz) would be enough for about 12 people.Some folk may take a little more, some folk won't take any as they might not like potato salad, so 3 pounds for 12 people is about right.
15 pounds of carrots.
I would do 22 pounds of beans
It depends on what else you are serving. If you have a variety of other dishes, expect to put out about 15 to 20 pounds of potato salad. If you only have a few other dishes (3 or 4) you'll need about 25 pounds. Good luck!
