That and fighting millions of years of evolutionary instinct screaming at you to eat everything you can when you start reducing calories in case you won't eat again for a few days.
It's only been MAYBE ~150 years that all classes of society had ready access to food.
I guess that's an exta benefit of having to raise protein intake on a calorie deficit. High quality protein is very satiating.
Also helps that if you're eating protein from a whole foods perspective, an 8oz chicken breast is a lot of food for only ~380 calories. Same goes for all lean proteins and even the fatty kind. You can fit a whole lot more in for equal calories going at whole foods than eating a 1200 calorie muffin.
