How many LBs of boiled crawfish are actually eaten per LB purchased?

What is the ratio of weight of the discarded shell to the actually meat eaten?
I'm thinking 1 lb eaten for every 3 lbs, but I honestly have no clue.

10 pounds of boiled crawfish roughly turn into one pound of tail meat

Most people fill up on beer, corn and potatoes, not crawfish. 
I always laugh when people say 3lbs is enough for 1 person. That doesn't even begin to get me started.

Haha! I totally agree. When I do boils I calculate 6 lbs for men and 4 lbs for women. I don't care what anyone else says. 3 lbs a person doesn't work

I usually just do 5 lbs across the board. If I end up with leftovers I'm cool with it. I'll grab a couple brews and get to peelin. Nothing beats good boiled crawfish leftovers.

linebackers can put away mucho crawfish. Better get more than you think you need.

It varies and mostly depends on the size of the crawfish but you can expect anywhere from 10% to 20% yield.
Bigger crawfish yield less
