Great ible and concept -- I would recommend strongly either showing the formulae, or consider protecting it WITHOUT a password -- that way you can't accidentally change a formula, but if 'we' need to we can.

It could also benefit from making a conversion table of '1 guest = this much turkey

18 + 4 meals sounds like an awful lot to get from only 17 pounds but getting some idea how much will be handy for the next meal... traditional meal for Easter at our house is ham but maybe I can make some changes. Thanks
