How Much Meat Does My Family Need?

In 2021 the average amount of beef eaten by a single person was 58 lbs per year. Some people eat more. Some people eat less. With 58 lbs per year being the average, that would mean about 1 lb per week would get you to the average. Going off that should help you decide how much you think you need.
