    Your ham in about 28 oz... Divide that by 3 oz. for your serving size... It's 9.3 servings per container.

    It's just over 9 servings for the ham you have, so i'd just put 9. The only time the servings per container really matters is if you need to use the 1 container option in the Serving Size section. And even then, if you buy this product frequently and use the entire amount each time, you don't have to use the 1 container option, you can just enter the number of servings in the 3 oz increments.

    I'm guessing there are about 7 servings, 3oz each.

    ***Dang! My math was off :(
