Meat per guest calculator

Enter the number of guests and the portion you want to serve.

Leave loss empty for raw portions. If you enter a loss, the portion is the cooked mass to serve. Choose both values yourself.

Enter your quantities to see the result.

Method and limitations

Without a loss entry, raw mass = guests × raw portion. With cooking loss, enter a cooked portion: raw mass = guests × cooked portion / (1 − loss / 100). An empty loss field means no adjustment. Portions are in grams; loss must be below 100 %. No allowance for bones, trimming, appetites or side dishes is inferred. This calculator predicts neither actual yield nor safe cooking.
