I suppose, but I'm on week 6 of a cut currently (at a 1000kcal deficit per day even) and haven't had any issues getting protein in. Just better meal planning on my part? That and I'd rather spend my kcals on meat over anything else probably, lol.
It's obviously a super small rock, but I'd personally much rather budget for a treat or just eat another chicken breast if the alternative is a 'protein bar'.
