So I've been reading through this study and comparing it to modern health advice. For the most part, the 22% of energy threshold seems to be above 1.2-1.6 grams of protein per kg of body weight (for active individuals).

The functional advice is: following the guidelines from the FDA will keep you out of the risks outlined in the study.
