I am unsure what you mean when you say "22% carbs
eliminates this necessity". What is the necessity?
It seems to me that to avoid eating too much protein
(>30%) that 70% of calories should be from fat or
carbs. Your statement appears to say to me that
eating 22% carbs eliminates the need to eat 70% fat.
At that level protein would only be 8%.

>The Inuit Eskimo lived in an extreme situation in the
Arctic where they had access to very little carbs, so
they had to make sure they got about 70% fat to go
with their 30% protein (by calories) to avoid rabbit
starvation (as did Stefansson). The data indicate that
eating 22% carbs eliminates this necessity. Some of
the !Kung San groups of the Kalahari desert had a very
different situation where there wasn't much large =
game--so they had to eat more plant foods than animal foods.
