My "Book of Food Counts" (copyright 1988, but I don't imagine these things change over time) says:

Duck, domestic, raw, meat only, 4 oz: 150 calories, 6.7 grams of fat, so 60.3 calories from fat - 40.2% of calories from fat
Duck, domestic, roasted, meat only, 4 oz: 228 calories, 12.7 grams of fat, so 114.3 calories from fat - 50.1% of calories from fat
Duck, wild, raw, breast meat only, 4 oz: 140 calories, 4.8 grams of fat, so 43.2 calories from fat - 30.9% of calories from fat

Not really symmetrical - the domestic isn't just for breast meat - but it's a start.

Based on entries for other poultry like chicken, "meat only" seems to mean without eating the skin. I assume the roasted is higher because some of the fat from the skin cooks into the meat. Since LittleMinnie's recipes call for skinless duck breasts, this shouldn't be a problem.

HTH. (I hate duck.)
