📐 Why This Amount Works

Estimate actual eaters

150 guests × 85% eating rate

At large events, about 85% of guests will eat full servings. 128 eaters

Calculate servings (as main dish)

128 eaters × 10 pieces per person

As a main dish, plan for 10 pieces per person (~1.0 lb). 1280 base servings

Apply super bowl party modifier

× 1.3 (+30% for wings)

Super Bowl Partys typically consume 30% more wings than average. 1658 pieces needed

Convert to lbs

1658 pieces ÷ 10 per lb

Each lb provides 10 pieces. 165.8 lbs (raw)

Add 15% buffer & round up

165.8 × 1.15 = 190.7, rounded up

Always round up and add a buffer. Running out of food is worse than having leftovers! 191 lbs

Buying Guide

Super Bowl is the biggest food day of the year after Thanksgiving. Plan 10-12 wings per person, 3 slices of pizza, and plenty of chips and dip. Make everything shareable and easy to eat without utensils. Cold foods should stay cold, hot foods in warming trays or slow cookers.
