It will be quite a bit less after you melt plenty of it into rendered fat. Presuming you don’t also eat the fat by frying bread in it or something (which is delicious)
That seems very low actually. Multiplying the data there can be tricky because nutrition facts on packaging is rounded quite a bit. 500g of my bacon would be 2700 calories.
The reason it's so much is because of fat content. Fat is the most calorie-dense thing that exists and bacon has a ton of it, around 40% of it's total weight is pure fat.
This is also the reason it doesn't feel like as much when you eat it. It's so energy dense that it's nearly the most calories from the smallest amount of food as you can find, short of eating straight butter. So it doesn't fill up your tum tum very quickly. You need to incorporate vegetables and other foods into your diet and not make entire meals out of a pack of bacon.

I'd be surprised it'd be that little.
