The 4·4·9 shorthand adds to 366 kcal; USDA publishes 371 kcal−5 kcal, 1.3% apart. That gap is expected, not an error: USDA derives energy with food-specific factors and, for many items, discounts the fibre that the shorthand still counts at four. The published figure is the better one, so the axis above is scaled to it and the shares are what the shorthand is genuinely good at.

How this is worked out

  1. USDA measures every nutrient per 100 g of edible portion. That row is published here unchanged — nothing is rounded up, smoothed or "adjusted".
  2. The energy figure is USDA's own, derived with food-specific factors. This site never computes the calorie count it publishes.
  3. The Atwater shorthand 4 · 4 · 9 is applied to the protein, carbohydrate and fat grams only to split that energy into shares — and where the shorthand disagrees with the published figure, the gap is printed rather than hidden.
  4. A serving is a straight proportional conversion of the per-100 g row, using USDA's own household measures for the grams.
  5. The walking figure uses MET 4.0 at 70 kg, the same equation the sister site publishes.
per serving   = per 100 g × serving grams ÷ 100
energy shares = 4·P + 4·C + 9·F      (P, C, F in grams)
walk minutes  = kcal ÷ (4.0 × 3.5 × 70 ÷ 200)

How goose, domesticated, meat and skin compares

Among the 95 poultry products items on this site, goose, domesticated, meat and skin ranks 7 of 95 by calorie density, against a category average of 179 kcal per 100 g — so it is about 107% more calorie-dense than typical for its group.

It carries 4.3 g of protein per 100 calories, so it is not a meaningful protein source.

To burn off 3 oz (315 kcal), a 70 kg adult would walk for roughly 64 minutes — see the walking calculation on our sister site, or pick a different activity. Treat that as a sense of scale rather than a rule: eating and moving are not a simple ledger.

Questions this entry settles

How many calories are in goose, domesticated, meat and skin?

How long does it take to burn off 3 oz?

About 64 minutes of ordinary walking for a 70 kg adult (MET 4.0). That is a rough guide for scale, not a prescription — appetite and activity interact in ways a simple subtraction does not capture.

Is this figure exact for the goose, domesticated, meat and skin I bought?

No. These are USDA reference values, averaged across samples. Real foods vary with variety, ripeness, growing conditions, cut, brand and how they were cooked — 10–20% either way is normal. Use them for planning, not precision.
