Do you have a good study w/ macro percentages for the Maasai or breast milk? Happy to add it!

The seasonal thing would be interesting because it would likely lead to (temporally) restricted swamping, even if the averaged numbers look swampy. For example, if you alternated months of keto and months of carbo, you'd be super duper swampy on average, yet would likely have almost no swampy days over time (maybe 1-2 at the beginning of every month, at most).

I think that this is the case with the Hazda, for example. They seem to eat mostly meat 1 season, mostly honey 1 season, and lots of nuts another season (from memory). Meaning they don't swamp that much, even though their average diet is "only" listed as 20/20/60, which isn't thaaaat low-fat nor low-protein. But if they avoid swamping temporally...
