How many people will a 10 pound roast feed?

Answer 1

It all depends which side dishes there are and how much each person eats.

There's enough atoms in 10 pounds of meat to give a few to everyone on Earth if you really think about it.

In practical terms though I'd say probably 8-10 people. A pound of meat is a pretty substantial serving. I'm 6'4" and 223lbs and I would have trouble eating a pound of beef along with mashed potatoes, veggies, something to drink, etc etc.

I would assume you have about 8 to 10 pounds of edible meat on the roast. Aquarter pound of meat is a good starter for each person. If the group consists ofall 6'4" 223 pounders like the guy above I would guess he's on the mark, but a typical group would consist of individuals that would actually eat less that a 1/4 pound and others would eat 1/2 or more. It would average out to about a 1/4 pound each. Thus you'd probably be able to feed 25 to 30 people.

Answer 2

It depends on how much the person eats.

Usually, 8 people or so.

Answer 3

In my experience, I've found that you want to allow for about one pound per person. So 10 pounds should feed about 10 people.

Answer 4

Approximately 35 people

Answer 5
