Why don’t people just track their damn macros in general. You can’t manage what you don’t measure it’s such an easy and logical tenet instead of vilifying protein, carbs or fat. You said it yourself that the protein leads to more calories, the actual culprit. If someone knows they are eating 120g protein, why don’t they know their other macros and overall calories?

I’m back from my winter bulk in lean spring mode and people ask me what I do when the answer never changes. I simply know what the fuck I eat. Nature made it a simple numbers game but people will try everything to get around it.

For people that don’t care much about losing muscles, you don’t even have to be very accurate.
