Yeah very strange they do a breakdown of what percentages each diet has, but not the overall caloric intake. If you consume 5000 calories a day, it really does not matter how healthy your macros are.
I wonder what the results would show if they did a similar study but compared people of similar body compositions. Who has the healthiest population of people with a BMI of ~20.

It is curious that the BBC article left that out. 1: https://www.inverse.com/article/50572-tsimane-amazon-healthy-heart-high-calorie-diet https://www.inverse.com/article/50572-tsimane-amazon-healthy...
