There are a lot of different opinions on this one, but a good general rule of thumb is to estimate needing between 1/2 and 1 lb of UNCOOKED meat per adult male and between 1/4 - 1/2 lb each for females and children (depending on the age of the children).

Other factors to take into account include the number of meats served, as well as the number of side dishes and appetizers.

A good idea is to imagine what the "average" plate will look like and go from there. Will people want to try a taste of all the meats, or will there be a "standout" dish that everyone will want seconds of? Plan your menu accordingly.
