How Much Brisket for 150 People?
75lbs of cooked brisket
½ lb cooked per person — brisket loses about half its weight trimming and cooking

| What | Amount |
|---|---|
| Raw packer brisket to buy | 150 lbs |
| Typical whole packers (12–14 lb) | 12 |
Plan ½ lb of cooked brisket per person as the main. A packer brisket loses about half its raw weight to trimming and the cook, so buy raw weight equal to a pound per guest.
If plates include two meats (brisket + something), drop to ⅓ lb cooked per person.
Adjusting for your crowd: kids eat about two-thirds of adult portions; knock 25% off any single item when several mains share the table; add 25% for teenagers and big appetites. When in doubt, round up on the cheap items (buns, chips, ice) and stay exact on the expensive ones.
