1.5-2 pounds per person. That's estimate I saw somewhere else.
Personally I have three kids and last year we were home just first days and bought six pounds and had leftovers. This year I bought 8 just in case

Average in 1.5 pounds per person.
Keep in mind that done people don't eat much during chol hamoed and may eat less, and some people eat at 2 meals a day on chol hamoed too and eat more.

We are 2 adults, 2 teens and a 3 year old. 14 lbs machine is the safe spot for us (2 per day). It depends what else you are making, We eat a lot of matza pizza, matza and cheese, butter etc. it’s not something you want to run out of
