Sorry if this is a stupid question - but I'm just starting getting serious about my nutrition and some of these labels are confusing me! 
For example, a duck fillet versus a chicken fillet.
Nutrition information in both case is rather similar: per 100g, a chicken fillet contains 32g of protein, the duck 21g. In both case, the total of salt, carbs, fiber, fats is roughly 10g, in roughly similar proportions.
So question 1: if a chicken fillet is made of 32g+10g = 42g of various macronutrients, what are the remaining 58g made off? I suspect water but I'm not sure.
And then, question 2 for the bonus points
- if it is indeed water, then is it correct to say that the duck fillet and the chicken fillet both provide identical nutrients, but the chicken just contains more protein - and the duck more water? Ie, there is no benefit eating duck over chicken (especially considering the higher duck price) - or , in other words, there is nothing that make the duck 'special' compared to the chicken.
Thanks in advance guys!!!
