I usually go 1 cup a person, which = roughly 1/2 pound if it is sold in the deli counter by pound like our grocery store does.
So if I am doing the math right, 75 people x 1/2 pound = 37.5 pounds would feed 75 people.
If your group is going to be heavy on men and boys, you may want to get 2 cups (1 pound a person = 75 pounds).
Be sure to have enough ice on hand to keep all of this cool in the serving trays.
Now if you are going to have 3-4 salads (like a regular salad, cole slaw, the potato and the macaroni) you could reduce each purchase by a few pounds.
Have fun!!
