Keto and calories

Hello everyone,
I'm very interested in doing keto and normally mfp shows my calories being 1370. When I calculate with the keto calculator online it shows I'm supposed to eat almost 1700 a day. That is freaking me out because that sounds like way too much. Any input please? Thanks in advance.

    There may be a difference in the deficits that you have set in MFP and the Keto Calculator.

    If you have MFP set to lose 2 lbs a week, that is a large deficit and that may be the reason why there is such a big difference.
