Average weights are used. It doesn't matter how much the individual people actually weigh.

seriously - with all of the cargo....I'm surprised that a few hundred pound bags of meat make that much of a difference?
Cargo is weighed. It doesn't have to make much of a difference. It just has to move the CG over the line.
