How We Calculate This
This calculator estimates BBQ meat quantities based on guest numbers and portion sizes.
Formula
- Total items = (adults x per adult) + (children x per adult x 0.5)
- Meat weight = burgers x 150g + sausages x 70g + chicken x 200g
- Bun packs = (burgers + sausages) / buns per pack
- Children eat approximately 50% of adult portions
