Doesn't "kcalories" mean KILOcalories? So,1700 kcal would be 1,700,000 
calories;that would be SOME meal from Taco Bell.And cost a lot more than 
$4.50 USD. 

Heck,you probably couldn't even fit that in your stomach at one sitting.

And the trip to the restroom..... HOLY MOLY,there goes the plumbing!!!!  
remember to turn the fan on,please.
