Go to the spaghetti page, look at the amounts in the dinner for 50-60 at the bottom of that page. You need only 3 times these amounts. You have too much spaghetti and sauce.
You need at LEAST 1 piece of chicken per person.

The plan for 100 page has all the rest of the foods you are asking about, for 165 use 1 2/3 times the amounts for 100.

I would do about 20-25 pounds of potatoes.

See the fruit tray page for amounts of the fruit.
