Example 1
Example 1 shows a basic catering order for 48 people that includes the main protein, sides and dessert.
4oz of protein is the FDA's recommendation for a single meal. Several factors effect the amount of protein each guest may elect to serve themselves.
- Is it a lunch or a dinner meal
- Are the guests primarily small or large eaters.
- Will the guests serve more than one protein.
If you believe your guests are large eaters, or will serve more than one protein, it's advisable to order additional quantities of protein. See Examples 2 & 3.

Determining the amount of Proteins to order
Our servings are based on the FDA's recommendation of 4 oz per serving
The FDA suggests a serving size of 4 oz of protein per meal. If you anticipate your guests will prefer more proteins with their plate please let us know so we can provide a recommendation on the proper amount of proteins for your event.
Often when there are more than one protein to select from the guests will take approximately 4 oz from each protein offered. This can easily double or triple the amount of proteins required for there to be enough food for everyone. For instance, if you have 50 guests, but each guest takes a portion from all three proteins, that would require enough protein equivalent to 150 people.
In general ladies and children are good with the 4 oz per serving. Only you know the makeup of your guests. Simply let us know and we'd be happy to assist you with your catering needs.
