How we judge this, and the sources
The answer comes from the food's composition, not from opinion: its Nutri-Score grade on the open 2023 algorithm, a traffic light for sugar, salt, saturated fat and fiber per 100 g, and the share of daily reference amounts in a typical serving (for salt, sugar, fiber and vegetables, those of the WHO). It rates the food's nutrient profile; it is not medical advice. Formulas, thresholds and every source are on the methodology page; last checked against the sources on September 30, 2026. The short food description was written by our language model (AI) — how we check the text.
Duck is dark-meat poultry, fattier than chicken or turkey, with most of the fat under the skin. These figures are for meat without skin; raw duck with skin has about three times the calories.

*Where the numbers come from
Values per 100 g come from a single record of an open food composition table: USDA FoodData Central, FDC ID 172410, “Duck, domesticated, meat only, raw” — the measured composition of this exact food, raw, as you weigh it before cooking, not an average across tables. Rounded. Carbohydrates are total carbohydrate, fiber included, as on a US Nutrition Facts label; salt is sodium × 2.5. Table licenses are on the data sources page.

*Where the vitamin numbers come from
Vitamins and minerals come from the USDA FoodData Central record “Duck, domesticated, meat only, raw” (FDC ID 172410, SR Legacy; public domain), checked October 14, 2026; the record was matched to this food by calories, protein and fat. % DV is per serving, against the FDA Daily Values used on Nutrition Facts labels (2,000-calorie diet). The table lists nutrients that reach at least 2% DV per 100 g; the rest are absent or trace. Varieties, seasons and brands differ, and cooking in water leaches some vitamin C and B vitamins.

Duck: calories by type and cooking method
“Calories per 100 g” depends on which kind you mean — dry or cooked, oil in the pan, what it's served with. Every row comes from the same database the diary uses.
| Per 100 g | Kcal | P / F / C, g |
|---|---|---|
| Duck meat, raw | 135 | 18 / 6 / 0.9 |
| Roast duck | 333 | 19 / 28 / 0 |
How much movement is one serving?
A 150 g serving is 203 kcal — roughly 66 min of easy walking or 25 min of cycling for a 70 kg (154 lb) person. In the diary, minutes are worked out for your weight and the activities you actually do.
Duck: swaps and alternatives
No need to swap: duck already gets grade A, the top of the scale, and nothing is in the red on the per-100 g traffic light: sugar 0 g (red is over 22.5 g), saturated fat 2.3 g (over 5 g) and salt 0.2 g (over 1.5 g). We only suggest a swap when it fixes a real problem. How we pick swaps.
What to pair duck with
A serving of duck has no fiber (the WHO suggests at least 25 g a day); that's easy to make up on the same plate:
