For reference, you can get very cheap Costco or Aldis protein bars (with chocolate, peanuts, soy, etc) that taste good for a small fraction of this price and those have 10 grams of protein. IIRC, those cost about 30 cents each. The nasty tasting Costco brand protein bars that have the consistency of taffy have 20+ grams of protein.
Protein bars and shakes that cost $1 or more each should really have at least 20-30+ grams of protein in them. Protein shakes usually have 25-30 grams of protein for about 150 Calories....which is a way better ratio of protein to Calories.
So this product doesn't have enough protein and protein to Calorie ratio to justify even it's discounted price.

If you just reduce everything to macro numbers, you could just reduce your diet to beer, ultra processed protein bars and potato chips and hit your numbers. Or you could actually eat whole foods and high quality ingredients - that's what Rx bars are.

The main ingredients in these RX bars are similar with peanuts, peanut flour, and chocolate. Both the actual main protein source - soy and egg whites are high quality protein.
Don't buy into the fancy marketing ploy.
If I wanted to eat whole foods then I would just eat real whole foods - not protein bars which are all processed food cubes.
RX bars literally have more sugar than protein in them. They are kind of a joke. If you want to be healthy and get more protein from whole foods while limiting excess Calories, eating RX bars is not the way to do it. It is certainly not a cheap way to get protein either.

and most will be garbage loaded with whey concentrate that many won't be able to eat.
That said, those Costco protein bars use soy, and soy and [RX bars] egg whites are both still good quality protein sources.
As for allergies, some people are allergic to soy. Some allergic to eggs. Some allergic to whey.
Some of us already move & exercise, know how to eat, and don't need to limit excess calories.
And something tells me you are one of those cardio oriented folks who know very little about building muscle and strength while staying lean...a process where you actually have to carefully regulate your protein to Calorie ratio.
