MFP daily calories set too low?

I've been reading different threads about eating too much or not enough and I'm confused. I even read the in place of a road map thread.
MFP has my calories set at 1670, which is lower than my BMR of 1728. Isn't it unsafe to eat below your BMR? I'm 32, 5'7" and 217 lbs, if that helps. Should I be eating more calories or am I ok at the recommended calories? Thanks in advance!

if you feel it's too low, you can re-adjust your goals to set your daily limit a bit higher0
