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.
That depends, how much do they eat? lol And what do you want to feed them. What you should be asking is how much money will it cost to feed 40 adults. lol
