MVP has set my calorie goal to 1070? I thought it shouldn't be less than 1200

Hi everyone. I'm new to mfp and have only been using it for a week. However I did lose my first 12 two weeks prior to this so put that loss onto mfp to include it and motivate myself. The thing is, I am looking to lose 2 lb a week and the calculator has set my goal at 1070cals a day? I did lose 2lb this week but I'm worried it's too low. I am 5 foot 6 and am now 215.8 lb and my first goal is to reach 170-180lb. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

I would question that as well, it seems too low. I follow a low carb diet so I pay more attention to the carbs than the calorie count. I do best when I aim for 1500 calories and try to stay around 30 carbs.
