Is duck red meat?
Duck is technically poultry. But nutritionally, duck meat, especially duck breast, is often classified as a red meat because of its higher myoglobin content and how it cooks.
Why does that matter?
Because some people who feel fine eating chicken or turkey notice bloating, stomach discomfort, or fatigue after eating duck or other rich meats. Understanding how your body responds to different proteins can be an important step in making informed nutrition choices.
If certain foods consistently leave you feeling “off,” a food sensitivity test may help identify patterns and potential triggers so you can make decisions based on your own body, not just general guidelines.
