Meat question

[Buttercup]

I had a friend ask me this question... "How many pints or quarts of canned meat would I need to feed a family of 7 for 6 months?"

Can anyone answer this question for me?

Well, I use 2 quarts of cubed beef to make shredded beef tacos for 5 of us and I have left overs, and that's feeding to huge sons.

 

I would think that depending on what you're using it for, will decide if you can skimp on 1 quart or if you would need 2. Personally, I would plan for 2 a day, if they plan on eating meat every day, so 2 x 30 = 60...60 x 6 = 360...

 

Obviously that would be more than enough so roughly somewhere around 300 quarts I would think for a family of 7...at least that's my opinion.
