Depends on a couple factors:

- How the meat is being served: Is it a big stew? Is it steak? I'm assuming its all sit-down meals.

- Who are the people, How much will they eat: Are they a football team or a nursing conference?

For most meats, figure big men would eat between 10-16 ounces, small women would eat 6-10 ounces. On average, 10oz pp, coming out to 400oz for 40 people or 25 pounds. This is figuring liberally.

More advice: Cook less, season more.

Well, the adverage person eats 6 shrimp in one course/meal, and if you have 40 people just do 40x6 and that is 240, so you might want a little less or a little more depending on the people you are serving.

It depends. For loaves of sliced (sandwich) bread, there's 16 slices figure 2 slices each or five loaves minimum. For rolls figure 2 each or at least 80 rolls. For 5 oz. loaves figure 1 each or 40 loaves. for 9 oz. loaves figure 20 loaves minimum and for 16 oz. (1 lb.) loaves figure 14 loaves minimum. As always add about 15 to 25 % to the minimum to avoid running out. 1 serving of bread is 1 oz. but 1 portion can run between 2 and 6 oz. per person.

The cost to feed 40 adults can vary greatly depending on factors such as location, dietary preferences, and budget. On average, a meal per person could cost anywhere from $10 to $50, resulting in a total cost of $400 to $2,000 for 40 people.

One whole chicken will feed approximately five people so you would need 8 whole chickens for 40 people.
