Whenever I fly the 737-700, Simbrief always gives me an optimum flap setting of 1 degree, despite a short runway. In reality, flaps 5 to 15 are used and I have never seen a pilot use flaps 1 for takeoff. Idk if the 737-700 operates differently than the 737-800/900, but I could be wrong.

Flaps 1 is an acceptable takeoff flap setting in the 737-700.
You are quite light and that combined with a long runway - makes sense.
