Venison
What it is
Venison commonly refers to deer meat. This reference specifically describes cooked, roasted deer meat.
What it does
For the named reference food, USDA lists 158 kcal, 30.2 g protein and 3.19 g total fat per 100 g edible portion. The table gives additional nutrients for that same food form. These figures describe composition, not an effect on a disease or a recommended serving.
Research context and ingredient forms
Reference food: Game meat, deer, cooked, roasted. These are historical SR Legacy data from the April 2018 release, published in FoodData Central in 2019. A different variety, preparation, water content, or commercial recipe can change the result. For a matching food, a portion estimate scales each value by edible portion grams divided by 100.
Using this information
Different game species and processed venison products need separate records. A venison sausage can include added fat and other meats that are absent from this reference.
