How much weight do you lose making jerky?
            Chef's answer
            
                
                    
                        
                
            
        
    
                            Beef Jerky shrinks in size up to 3-1. The process of dehydration can reduce the weight anywhere between 1/2 to 2/3 of the original weight. For example, 3 pounds of raw meat can shrink down to 1 pound.

However, if you are serving crab lovers with a moderate-to-large appetite, we would suggest between 1-2 pounds of crab legs per adult.
