For 10 equivalent servings, the model allocates 4.5 lb of boneless ham, equal to 2.041165665 kg. The bone-in preset allocates 6.5 lb.

Total weight = equivalent servings × preset pounds per serving

Enter these known values and leave the other values blank.

The presets are planning allowances: 0.45 lb per serving for boneless ham and 0.65 lb for bone-in ham. They are not nutrition targets or universal serving standards.
Equivalent servings may be fractional for planning. Appetite, side dishes, leftovers and edible yield may require a different purchase amount.
The inverse result is a fractional number of model servings. Round down when asking how many complete servings an available weight can cover.
Zero servings produces zero weight. This tool does not estimate cooking or thawing time.

The retained preset assigns more purchased weight per serving to account for bone and differences in edible yield.

Only if you enter extra equivalent servings. The model does not add a separate leftovers allowance.

Bookify allows zero equivalent servings with zero estimated purchase weight.
